JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) invites the 2023 Indonesian Women's finalists to participate in fighting corruption. They can play a role as anti-corruption counselors who help the public understand the dangers of corruption.

"Real steps to prevent corruption can also be taken according to your ability. Like being an anti-corruption counselor," said KPK Director of Community Participation Development Kumbul Kusdwijanto as quoted from his written statement, Friday, May 19.

Not only that, but the finalists are expected to be brave enough to report allegations of corruption and refuse to be involved. "Even then (becoming, red) the reporter or the informant of the occurrence of a quality corruption crime," said Kumbul.

Kumbul said that the participation of all levels of society in preventing corruption is expected to help reduce the number of corruption and increase the score of the corruption perception index (CPI) to a more stable number. Moreover, the decline occurred this year from 38 to 34.

"Corruption is an extraordinary crime that has an impact on various aspects of life and has proven to be suffering from the people and hindering the progress of the nation. Therefore, joint efforts are needed in eradicating it," he said.

"Likewise, if later these finalists enter into their various activities, see or know of corruption, don't hesitate to immediately report it to the KPK," concluded Kumbul.
