The revision of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Law has been viewed as weakening the institutional independence and effectiveness of the KPK. Several changes have raised concern, particularly the placement of KPK under the executive branch, the conversion of KPK employees into State Civil Apparatus, and the requirement that certain coercive measures obtain approval from the Supervisory Board. These developments show the need to re-empower the KPK in the fight against corruption. This article examines the ideal institutional position of the KPK and the proper focus of its authority so that it can perform its duties effectively. The purpose of this research is to formulate an institutional framework that strengthens the KPK’s role in eradicating corruption. This study uses a normative juridical method with a statutory approach. The analysis is based on secondary legal materials, including literature on corruption eradication and asset recovery, and is presented descriptively analytically. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to legislative policy reform aimed at repositioning and strengthening the KPK. In particular, KPK should be placed as the primary investigative body in corruption cases, granted authority to carry out Non-Conviction Based Asset Forfeiture, and encouraged to work in synergy with the prosecutor's Office as a prosecution institution. This arrangement would support a system of checks and balances in the law enforcement process. Ultimately, these reforms are necessary to make eradication of corruption and the recovery of state losses more effective.
