He said all state apparatus are continuously reminded to make improvements before legal action is taken.

Prasetyo also emphasized that corruption remains one of the major problems that must be consistently resolved.
"Corruption is one of this nation's biggest homework. But we must not give up. We must continue to improve governance, strengthen integrity, and build a clean government," he said.
National Police Investigating Three Alleged Corruption Cases
Previously, the National Police conducted searches at several locations, including a cafe in the Cipete area, South Jakarta, and a house in Sentul, Bogor Regency. During these searches, investigators seized several pieces of evidence, including gold bars and a large amount of cash.
Head of the National Police's Corruption Eradication Corps (Kortastipidkor) Inspector General Totok Suharyanto explained that the investigation is being conducted through a joint investigation scheme with the Directorate of Special Criminal Investigation of the Metro Jaya Regional Police.
The three cases being investigated include:
- Alleged corruption in coal procurement at PLN, suspected to be related to a blackout incident.

- Alleged corruption and money laundering (TPPU) in the settlement of PT CBS's debt to PT KNI, a subsidiary of state-owned enterprise Krakatau Steel.
To date, investigators are still delving into these cases and have not yet announced the identities of those named as suspects.
Government Invites Public to Maintain National Stability
Amidst the ongoing legal process, Prasetyo invited all elements of society to maintain conduciveness and unity.
According to him, national stability is an important capital for accelerating development and improving public welfare.
"Only with a safe, united, and trusting atmosphere can we solve various national problems and accelerate the implementation of development programs for the welfare of all Indonesian people," he concluded.
