JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Nurul Ghufron reminded state officials to carry out their duties with integrity to prevent corruption that hinders infrastructure development.

He conveyed this in front of the leadership and members of the Maluku Province Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD), Wednesday, November 3.

Ghufron said that corruption often affects a number of aspects of people's lives, from the development of human resources to the infrastructure that supports life. In fact, he found that the quality of the project was so poor that it had not yet been inaugurated that the building had been destroyed.

"In Indonesia, the governors and regents have not yet stepped down, the buildings built with the state budget have been destroyed," he said, quoted from his written statement.

Ghufron said the presence of the KPK in Maluku is a form of cooperation to improve the welfare of the community. Moreover, DPRD as the people's representative has an important role because it also determines the direction and goals of the region.

"Our presence can be said to be a form of pela gandong KPK with the DPRD. The spirit of brothers in guarding, supervising and controlling the government in Maluku," said Ghufron.

In his presentation, he mentioned the types of corruption and the modes of corruption that often occur in the regions. He reminded legislators not to fall into the same behavior.

“Father and Mother are public officials whose job is to serve the public. Don't enrich yourself from unauthorized sources, other than the salaries and honorariums that have been regulated, "said Ghufron.

Meanwhile, the Chairman of the Maluku Provincial DPRD Lucky Wattimury in his speech appreciated the presence of the KPK. He hopes that the presence of the anti-corruption commission can eradicate corruption to encourage the improvement of people's welfare.

"We welcome this event to strengthen the synergy between the KPK and the Council for the eradication of corruption, so that it can further encourage development and improve the welfare of the Maluku people in line with KPK's efforts to improve local government governance," said Lucky.
