Previously, National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo stated that the experience of Novel Baswedan and his friends could help resolve the culture of corruption in Indonesia. This is one of the reasons why Novel is placed on the side of prevention.

In addition, Novel's experience can strengthen the handling of corruption cases so that the culture of corruption will gradually erode and disappear.
