KPK Warning To Acting Governor: Many Corruption Modes Involving Families
JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) reminded the acting governor to stay away from the practice of racism. They are asked to stay away from corrupt practices that involve their closest people, such as spouses and children.
This warning was conveyed by the Deputy Chairperson of the KPK, Nawawi Pomolango when opening the Anti-Corruption Strengthening for State Organizers with Integrity (PAKU). The event was held by inviting the acting governor and his partner.
"Anti-corruption education should indeed be included in the family environment. Many modes of corruption involve families," said Nawawi in a written statement, Thursday, November 3.
He hopes that after following this PAKU Integrity, officials can bring anti-corruption values and run in the family. "To be truly engraved in yourself is not just fear," he said.
Nawawi also advised the pair of acting governors not to hesitate to remind them. Don't let them even support corruption.
"Remind each other. Couples must be able to become strongholds for other couples. Build integrity in such a way starting from the family environment," said Nawawi.
