JAKARTA - Vice President Ma'ruf Amin reminded that corruption is the main enemy of the nation. The vice president even said that corruption is a global disaster such as COVID-19.

He conveyed this when delivering his remarks at the commemoration of World Anti-Corruption Day (Hakordia) 2022 at the Bidakara Hotel, South Jakarta, Friday, December 9.

"Corruption is the main enemy of the whole nation. Similar to COVID-19, corruption is also a global disaster," Ma'ruf said in his remarks.

Ma'ruf said, corruption is also destructive and the center of all problems. Thus, the government seeks to implement clean and good governance and is free of corruption.

Moreover, Indonesia is now trying to get out of difficult times due to the pandemic. So, all parties must stay away from corrupt practices.

"Our struggle to recover from the crisis, caused by the emergence of various new challenges in the fields of economy, politics, social and the environment, will only be successful if we implement clean and good governance, free from corruption," he stressed.

Ma'ruf reminded that all existing resources in the country must be managed properly for the sake of national recovery. Do not let the difficult conditions like today actually occur in corrupt practices.

"The difficult situation we are facing now will increasingly feel heavy with corrupt behavior," he said.

"Therefore, all efforts to recover the social and social economy of the national economy require support from the KPK and all stakeholders so as not to fall by corrupt behavior," continued Ma'ruf.

Previously, the KPK held a 2022 Hakordia commemoration at the Bidakara Hotel, South Jakarta. This activity was attended by a number of invited guests, such as the 10th Vice President and 12 Jusuf Kalla.

Next was Minister of Health Budi Gunadi Sadikin, Minister of PUPR Basuki Hadimuljono, Minister of Religion Yaqut Qholil Qoumas, Minister of Law and Human Rights Yasonna Laoly, and Minister of Education and Culture Nadiem Makarim.
