JAKARTA - Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Setyo Budiyanto reminded that the article 'Free of Corruption' should not just be a symbol in certain locations. Do not let there be an impression that corrupt practices should not be carried out in places that are fitted with writing but may be done elsewhere.
This was conveyed by Setyo at the peak of the 2025 World Anti-Corruption Day (Hakordia) event at the Yogyakarta Kepatihan Complex, Tuesday, December 9. He mentioned the article 'Free of Corruption' in front of representatives of the Ministry of PANRB who attended.
"I remind all of you, yes, corruption-free areas are often installed in several places. This means that completely it is a symbol," said Setyo, starting his statement.
Even though it's a good symbol, Setyo explained, don't let the writing be interpreted as a smoking ban somewhere.
"WBKjangan was then coordinated when there was an inscription that the WBK there should not be corruption, there should not be transactional, yes, then by way of his partner, this is a corruption-free area, we have to find a place, where, look for cafes, look for restaurants, look for hotel rooms, no," he said.
Because of this, Setyo asked the KemenPANRB to reform the writing. Do not let the sentence shift its meaning.
"Yes, it's a reminder, it's a symbol, but at least it's included in our kaluari and kalbu to no longer do it," he stressed.
"Not because there is writing, but indeed because the behavior has been good, there is no longer any desire to do these things," continued Setyo, who is the former Director of KPK Investigation.
While on a separate occasion, Setyo said, he had the hope that symbols would no longer be used in the future. This is because this condition indicates that the level of fraudulent practice means that it can be suppressed.
Even I also hope that one day Hakordia will only be done sectorally. "Whenever, yes, everything is good and I am optimistic that there will be a time when it will be better."
