JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) said that corruption crimes continue to develop in line with the times. Today, the perpetrators are increasingly sophisticated and even use cutting-edge technology.

This was conveyed by President Jokowi while attending the commemoration of World Anti-Corruption Day (Hakordia) 2023 with the theme Synergy to Fight Corruption for Advanced Indonesia today, Tuesday, December 12. The activity was held at Istora Senayan, Jakarta.

"Corruption is getting more sophisticated, more complex and even cross-border and multi-judicial and using cutting-edge technology," said President Jokowi in front of invited guests.

"Therefore, we need a more systematic, more massive joint effort that prioritizes cutting-edge technology to prevent corruption," he continued.

It didn't stop there, Jokowi also reminded the importance of strengthening prevention, licensing, and internal supervision systems. "This will help a lot to protect people from corruption," said the former governor of DKI Jakarta.

Previously, President Jokowi had mentioned that many officials were arrested and imprisoned during the 2004-2022 period. In total there are thousands but it turns out that corrupt behavior is still happening.

"With so many officials who have been imprisoned, has corruption stopped? Stopped? It turns out that until now we still find many corruption cases. This means that we need to evaluate the total," he said in front of four KPK leaders and other invitations.
