JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has spoken out about the decline in the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) or Corruption Perception Index (CPI) Indonesia released by Transparency International Indonesia (TII). The score obtained by Indonesia is considered to be a material for joint introspection.
"CPI is not just a number but must be seen as a strong call for introspection and acceleration of the eradication of corruption in the future collectively," said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to reporters through a written statement, Wednesday, February 11.
Budi said the CPI is a portrait of public confidence in the government's commitment to combating corruption. He also emphasized that this year's CPI results highlight issues of democracy and civil liberties.
Regarding these two aspects, Budi said the KPK continues to invite the public to play an active role in eradicating corruption, including through the application of the principles of transparency and accountability in anti-corruption education, prevention, and enforcement.
"In the context of eradicating corruption, the KPK is also involved to support the realization of an ecosystem of democratic and political integrity, both through approaches to education, prevention, and enforcement," said Budi.
However, according to him, these efforts are not enough if only carried out by the KPK. The commitment of all stakeholders is needed to strengthen the eradication of corruption.
"We hope that every progress in law enforcement by the KPK, will be followed up with the commitment and concrete steps of all stakeholders, to ensure that corruption does not occur again," he said.
"Given the KPK's actions, it was revealed that there were still massive acts of corruption that occurred repeatedly. This indicates that the commitment to improving the prevention sector still needs to be improved," continued Budi.
Budi added that the KPK had an Integrity Assessment Survey (SPI) which mapped various corruption-prone points along with recommendations for improvement. The results of the survey are expected to serve as a reference in improving the system.
"The KPK hopes that every finding in the CPI, SPI, and IPAK will become a basis for future improvement by all stakeholders with more seriousness and collaboration," said Budi.
"Thus, through improving the system and governance of government, it will have a positive impact on the quality of public services. As a result, it will increase public perception and trust in the national commitment to eradicating corruption."
