Entering The Red Category, KPK Reveals Procurement Of Goods And Services In North Sumatra Prone To Corruption
JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) revealed that the procurement of goods and services in North Sumatra Province is prone to corrupt practices. This finding refers to the Monitoring Controlling Surveillance for Prevention (MCSP) data.
"The achievement of procurement of goods and services has only reached an average of 57 percent or is in the red category," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo to reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, July 7.
Budi said North Sumatra had not yet fully committed to improving the procurement of goods and services sector. "This also confirms the findings in the arrest activities carried out by the KPK," he said.
In addition, the anti-corruption commission also revealed the North Sumatra Provincial Government's 2024 Integrity Assessment Survey (SPI) in the vulnerable category. The factors are due to the weak management of human resources (HR) in the process of lifting, transferring, dismissal of state civil servants (ASN) to the management of goods and services procurement whose scores are below 60.
"KPK is also looking at the results of the 2024 Integrity Assessment Survey (SPI) where the score for the average value of all regions in North Sumatra Province is 70.28. Meanwhile, specifically for the North Sumatra Provincial Government, the score is 58.55 or is categorized as vulnerable," explained Budi.
