Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of legal policy within the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in handling corruption in Indonesia, particularly after the amendment to Law Number 19 of 2019. The method employs normative juridical research with a statutory and conceptual approach. The results reveal that the legal policy for eradicating corruption is realized through strengthening the legal basis for corruption and establishing the KPK as a state institution with strategic authority in coordination, supervision, investigation, prosecution, and prevention. However, regulatory changes through Law Number 19 of 2019 have implications for the KPK's position, independence, and effectiveness, particularly through the establishment of a Supervisory Board, changes to the wiretapping mechanism, and the status of employees to civil servants (ASN). Therefore, strengthening the institutional independence of the KPK remains a crucial aspect in maintaining the effectiveness of corruption eradication in Indonesia.
