Jakarta – An anti-graft outfit has said that the Attorney General's Office (AGO) is the most corrupt state institution as indicated by the total amount of state loss potentially incurred by the agency.

The National Forum for Budget Transparency (FITRA) said that based on data from the Supreme Audit Body (BPK), between 2008 and 2010, the AGO potentially lost Rp 5.43 trillion (US$575.58 million), more than 25 percent of the Rp 16.4 trillion of potential losses from 83 government institutions.

Head of FITRA's research division Maulana said that the BPK found 473 cases of irregularities within the agency. "The potential for losses reaches Rp 5.4 trillion and the agency has not launched any investigations," Maulana said as quoted by kompas.com.

The AGO, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and the National Police have established a small team to coordinate further on anti-graft measures. The three institutions have also ratified a new memorandum of understanding (MoU) on corruption eradication, renewing the 2005 MoU was deemed to be too old.
