A clean government is one that operates free from collusion, corruption, and nepotism. The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has long been established to combat corruption in Indonesia. However, the amendment to the KPK Law through Law Number 19 of 2019 has sparked controversy. This amendment has reduced the KPK’s authority, and the introduction of a Supervisory Board with stronger authority than the KPK commissioners has raised concerns about weakening the commission’s ability to perform its duties. The objective of this research is to analyze the impact of changes in the KPK's authority following the issuance of Law Number 19 of 2019. This research uses a normative legal approach, applying both the statute and conceptual approaches. The legal materials are processed using descriptive legal analysis to examine the implications of the legal changes. The findings reveal significant changes in the KPK’s authority between Law Number 30 of 2002 and Law Number 19 of 2019. The study concludes that the enhanced authority of the Supervisory Board has negatively impacted the effectiveness of the KPK in fulfilling its responsibilities, raising concerns about its ability to optimally combat corruption. The implications of this research suggest that the reduction in the KPK’s authority and the increased role of the Supervisory Board may hinder efforts to eradicate corruption, thus affecting the overall integrity of governance in Indonesia.
