The chairman of Indonesia’s House Commission III, Habiburokhman, said the resignation of Febrie Adriansyah from his post as the attorney general’s special crimes director must not slow down or stop ongoing corruption investigations. He argued that changes inside the Attorney General’s Office should not interrupt law enforcement work that is already under way, especially cases being handled by police investigators and other related agencies.
Habiburokhman said Commission III is committed to following the cases through to the end and ensuring they produce legal certainty. To reinforce that oversight, he said the commission is preparing to form a special supervisory team. The move, he added, is meant to keep pressure on the institutions involved so the investigations remain focused, orderly, and transparent even after the leadership change in the prosecutor’s special crimes unit.
He also called on Indonesia’s law enforcement bodies, including the police, the Attorney General’s Office, and the military, to stay coordinated. According to him, solidarity among institutions is important so the government’s anti-corruption agenda can move forward without friction. His remarks came as public attention intensified around the reported resignation of Febrie, who had become a central figure in several high-profile graft cases.
The debate around Febrie’s exit has drawn broader scrutiny because the special crimes unit has been linked to a number of major corruption cases in recent months. Habiburokhman said the resignation should not be used as a reason to weaken enforcement or allow unfinished cases to lose momentum. For lawmakers, he said, the priority is to make sure every case that has already entered the investigative stage continues according to procedure until there is a clear legal outcome.
