The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has defended its work in the first half of the year, pointing to high-profile arrests and improvements in graft prevention measures.

KPK chairman Firli Bahuri said at a press briefing on Monday that the antigraft body had improved its score in a performance assessment carried out by its supervisory board in the first half of the year compared to the same period last year.

This year, the commission scored 93.65 in the assessment, up from last year’s 92.06. Firli did not, however, provide details about the assessment, such as the indicators used to evaluate the antigraft body’s performance.
