JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) arrived at Merah Putih Building of Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta. He will open the commemoration of World Anti-Corruption Day (Hakordia) 2021.

According to VOI monitoring, President Jokowi was present at around 08.45 western Indonesia time. He appears to be wearing a brown batik and wearing a mask of the same color.

Arriving at the lobby of the building, the former governor of DKI Jakarta was greeted by the chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission, Firli Bahuri, who appeared to be wearing a red batik. Not only that but a red carpet was also held to welcome his presence.

Neither of them said a word, they went straight into the night. Apart from Jokowi, a number of officials were also present, such as the Governor of West Java Ridwan Kamil and the Metro Jaya Police Chief, Fadil Imran.

As previously reported, President Jokowi will open the commemoration of World Anti-Corruption Day. Meanwhile, Vice President Ma'ruf Amin will be able to close the event.

This activity will carry the theme One Unified Build an Anti-Corruption Culture. In practice, the event will not only be held in Jakarta but the series will also be held in Kendari, Banjarmasin, Pekanbaru, and East Nusa Tenggara (NTT).

The annual routine activities will be carried out in a hybrid or offline and online manner. The invitees who were present directly at the KPK's Merah Putih Building would later have to implement strict health protocols because the COVID-19 pandemic was still happening.

For information, at the 2019 Hakordia commemoration, Jokowi was absent and was replaced by Vice President Ma'ruf Amin to open this activity.

At that time, Jokowi preferred to attend the anti-corruption day commemoration at a high school in Jakarta where the program was filled with drama performances with ministers in the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet as actors.

Meanwhile, at Hakordia 2020, President Jokowi only delivered remarks online. The reason is that the spread of COVID-19 is massive in the country.
