PERAN KPK DALAM MENGAWAL PENGALOKASIAN DANA BANTUAN SOSIAL DI MASA PANDEMI COVID-19

Abstract

Abstract

The Covid-19 outbreak has had an impact on many aspects, including social and economic aspects. One of the government's efforts to overcome these economic and social impacts is through a social assistance program for the affected communities. The provision of social assistance funds in a pandemic situation opens gaps in corruption, where supervision and openness are weak and lacking because speed and wide affordability are prioritized, and are suspected of various irregularities and abuse of authority by irresponsible authorities. For this reason, the KPK as an agency in charge of preventing corruption, plays an active role in overseeing the allocation and use of Covid-19 social assistance funds at the Central and various regions. Through qualitative methods with literature studies, it can be identified and explained that the role of the KPK in overseeing the allocation of social assistance funds during the Covid-19 pandemic can be seen through the prevention, prosecution and education approach which is the implementation of KPK's duties based on Law Number 19 of 2019.

Abstrak

Wabah Covid-19 berdampak pada banyak aspek, antara lain pada aspek sosial dan ekonomi. Salah satu upaya pemerintah menanggulangi dampak ekonomi dan sosial tersebut adalah melalui program bantuan sosial bagi masyarakat yang terkena dampak tersebut. Pemberian dana bansos di situasi pandemi  membuka celah korupsi, dimana pengawasan dan keterbukaan itu menjadi lemah dan kurang karena yang diutamakan kecepatan dan keterjangkauan yang luas, serta ditengarai oleh adanya berbagai penyimpangan dan penyalahgunaan wewenang oleh pihak-pihak berwenang yang tidak bertanggung jawab. Untuk itu KPK sebagai lembaga yang bertugas melakukan pencegahan tindak korupsi, berperan aktif mengawal pengalokasian dan penggunaan dana bansos Covid-19 di Pusat & berbagai daerah. Melalui  metode kualitatif dengan studi literatur, dapat diidentifikasi dan dijelaskan bahwa peran KPK dalam mengawal pengalokasian dana bantuan sosial di masa pandemi Covid-19 dapat dilihat melalui pendekatan pencegahan, penindakan dan edukasi yang merupakan implementasi tugas KPK berdasarkan Undang-Undang Nomor 19 Tahun 2019.
