Researcher of the Center for Anti-Corruption Studies (Pukat) UGM, Zaenur Rohman, suggested that the Government Internal Oversight Agency (APIP) or Regional Inspectorate should not be selected by regional heads to prevent corruption.
"APIP, the internal supervisory apparatus of the government in the form of regional inspectors, failed to shield regional heads from deviant behavior. Why? Because they are under the regional heads. This needs to be improved," he said, Sunday, December 21.
"So, how do you do it? Yes, APIP is not chosen by the regional head, is not responsible to the regional head. So he can't be controlled by the regional head like that. For example, APIP is then chosen by the center, for example, which is placed in the area, "continued Zaenur.
In addition, he also emphasized that the Ministry of Home Affairs must continue to provide training from before taking office until the end of service, namely in terms of integrity to ideology in carrying out the public trust.
"The construction by the Ministry of Home Affairs intensively for regional heads must still be carried out. When you first take office, when you are in office, and later when you will finish your term. It needs continuous training," said Zaenur.
"Administrative construction, technical training that they lead. Training in terms of ideology, integrity, and morality. This needs to be done by the Ministry of Home Affairs. Then, from the supervision side," he added.
Previously, the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) highlighted the prevalence of regional heads who were caught by the KPK OTT. The Head of the Kemendagri, Benni Irwan, emphasized that his party would evaluate the development of regional heads.
The Ministry of Home Affairs, he said, always reminds regional heads to maintain transparency and accountability in the implementation of government. In addition, it must also maintain the integrity of government organizers. Therefore, the Ministry of Home Affairs will conduct a training evaluation of regional heads, one of which is evaluating the pilkada system.
"This momentum will also be a self-evaluation for the Ministry of Home Affairs. The recruitment model or pattern of regional heads in the future will be one of the interesting issues to discuss in the evaluation," added Benni.
