Kapanlagi.com - Recently, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) launched a noteworthy Report on the Wealth of State Organizers (LHKPN). This report includes data on the ministers in the Red and White Cabinet led by President Prabowo Subianto. Out of a total of 124 officials, 123 have submitted their wealth reports, which are now accessible to the public on the official KPK website.
This initiative is an important step towards transparency, with the hope of curbing practices of corruption, collusion, and nepotism in government. Interestingly, the report reveals a striking difference in the wealth amounts of the ministers. Some have wealth reaching trillions of rupiah, while others have wealth below IDR 10 billion.
The Minister of Tourism, Widiyanti Putri, caught attention with a fantastic total wealth of IDR 5.4 trillion. On the other hand, the Minister of Environment, Hanif Faisol Nurofiq, is the minister with the smallest wealth, which is only IDR 4.1 billion. These facts add color to the political landscape of Indonesia and emphasize the importance of transparency in managing state wealth.
1. The Importance of LHKPN in Transparent Governance
LHKPN, a vital instrument mandated by the KPK, is a primary focus for all state officials, from ministers to heads of agencies. Designed to ensure the transparency of public officials' wealth, LHKPN allows the public to monitor directly.
The Deputy for Prevention and Monitoring of the KPK, Pahala Nainggolan, revealed that the reporting is divided into two categories: regular mandatory reporting for officials who have previously held office and special mandatory reporting for those who are occupying public positions for the first time.
Of the total 58 special mandatory LHKPN reports, 14 have already been published on the official KPK website, while the rest will follow soon. This step is part of the KPK's efforts to enhance accountability and provide the public with broader access to monitor public officials.
2. Ministers with the Highest Wealth in the Prabowo Cabinet
Widiyanti Putri, the Minister of Tourism, is now making history as the richest minister in the Merah Putih cabinet with a fantastic wealth of Rp 5.4 trillion! This figure surpasses President Prabowo Subianto, who was recorded to have a wealth of Rp 2 trillion in April 2024.
In second place is the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, Sakti Wahyu Trenggono, with a total wealth of Rp 2.6 trillion, while the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises, Erick Thohir, and the Minister of Agriculture, Andi Amran Sulaiman, each have wealth of Rp 2.3 trillion and Rp 1.2 trillion, respectively.
3. Ministers with Wealth Below Rp 10 Billion
Amid the glitz of the political world, not all ministers are immersed in abundant wealth. Four ministers, who may not be widely known to the public, have assets below Rp 10 billion.
They are Hanif Faisol Nurofiq with a wealth of Rp 4.1 billion, Natalius Pigai with Rp 4.3 billion, Yassierli with Rp 8.5 billion, and Budi Santoso with Rp 9.4 billion.
Interestingly, Natalius Pigai last reported his LHKPN in 2019, while Yassierli and Budi Santoso have just updated their wealth reports at the end of last year.
4. KPK's Efforts to Enhance Transparency
The KPK continuously strives to ensure that all public officials comply with reporting the State Organizer's Wealth Report (LHKPN). Until now, there is only one individual who has not completed their wealth report, namely Tina Talisa, the Special Staff of the Vice President who was newly appointed in December 2024.
This reporting process is expected to be completed by March 2025, in accordance with the established deadline. This step not only reaffirms the government's commitment to transparency but also serves to build public trust in the management of the state.
Moreover, the KPK also provides easy access to data through the website e-lhkpn.kpk.go.id, opening up opportunities for the public to participate more actively in monitoring the wealth of public officials.

On the other hand, Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin also stood out with Rp 208.24 billion by the end of 2024. These figures reflect the significant responsibilities borne by each ministry in managing the country's resources for the welfare of the people.
