Responding to increased public attention on recent corruption cases, Chaniago urged the public to view the situation wisely and proportionally. He suggested that the high number of cases being revealed indicates the state's strong commitment to cleaning up governance, rather than an increase in corrupt practices. The government, he added, fully supports the ongoing law enforcement processes.
Chaniago further emphasized that the handling of cases is conducted professionally, independently, and transparently, in line with legal regulations. He also highlighted the continuous strengthening of synergy among law enforcement agencies, including the National Police, the Attorney General's Office, and others, to ensure the effectiveness of the anti-corruption agenda. "What we continue to maintain is synergy and coordination between agencies. Communication must continue to be built to prevent potential misunderstandings," he said.
