JAKARTA - Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo emphasized the importance of the character of leaders to encourage innovation and prevent corruption in the government. The two points must start from their leaders.

This was conveyed by Ganjar when he was a mentor for representatives of echelon II officials of ministries/agencies throughout Indonesia in the 2023 Central Java Province Level II National Leadership Training at the Central Java BPSDMD Building, Jalan Setiabudi No 201 A, Srundol Kulon, Banyumanik, Semarang City, Central Java, Monday 7 August.

"Being a leader in the future to lead their respective services or in the ministry, each of them must understand what must be corrected, what must be improved. It starts with integrity", said Ganjar.

Ganjar said leaders must be an example by applying anti-corruption values to government officials. In addition, leaders must also support the creation of innovation. One of the most important innovations is system improvement. According to Ganjar, the improved system will make it easier for the community to get government services.

I remind them when they train leadership, they must be able to be an example. Once they become an example, of course there is innovation. The innovation given is system improvement. Improvement of the system is a public service, really, easy, cheap, fast. Complete the task," he said.

Not to forget, Ganjar also reminded the importance of administrative transparency if these values have been realized. That way, leaders can give appropriate and comprehensive accountability.

Administration only two, transparent and accountable. Values are simple. If it is done already he will become a strong leader, he has a strong attitude, and is never afraid," said Ganjar.

Ganjar hopes that more and more leaders will have strong character so that there will be no more corruption, collusion, or illegal levies (extortion). Ganjar also hopes that more innovations will be encouraged by future leaders as a trigger for the progress of the Indonesian nation.

"There are also many good leadership, they can do so that community services are fast, the country must progress," concluded Ganjar.

In his leadership in Central Java, Ganjar succeeded in building a corruption prevention system in Central Java by implementing an anti-corruption curriculum, building an anti-corruption village, and making a commitment to creating a clean government through his firm stance on ASN.

In two periods of his leadership, Ganjar also created various innovations. Such as the online complaint service LaporGub, free of education costs, intensifying biration reforms, and other programs.
