PALEMBANG - The Palembang City Government, South Sumatra Province is preparing an anti-corruption socialization program from an early age by sending teams to schools.

"There are new innovations from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) that I will apply patterns such as socialization involving PAUD, Kindergarten, and students, SD-SMA equivalents," said Palembang Secretary Ratu Dewa when closing the 'KPK Bus Roadshow Exploring the Country to Build Anti-Corruption', as quoted by Antara, Sunday 11 September.

According to him, education about anti-corruption needs to be given to the younger generation of the nation's successors from an early age to form a high spirit of integrity.

He said that integrity is a trait or condition that shows complete unity so that it has the potential and ability that radiates authority and honesty.

Then it is hoped that the younger generation in this city can implement the values ​​of preventing corruption in their daily lives, and become anti-corruption ambassadors for their families and communities around their neighborhoods.

"I think the socialization program is very important to be carried out immediately to support city development and improve people's welfare," said Ratu Dewa.
