JAKARTA - The interim chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Nawawi Pomolango said there was still a lot of corruption before President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). This was conveyed to him at the commemoration of World Anti-Corruption Day (Hakordia) today, Tuesday, December 12. Initially, Nawawi said that corruption was proven to hinder social progress and made the ideals of Indonesia Gold 2045 difficult to achieve. He then explained that there have been various ways of eradicating corruption carried out by the government. Including establishing the KPK and creating a National Strategy for Corruption Prevention (Stranas PK). Unfortunately, various indicators show that there is still less effective and inefficient in eradicating corruption," said Nawawi at Istora Senayan, Jakarta. We will see how the score of the Corruption-IPK Perception Index has not increased significantly and is stagnant in a decade. The Anti-Corruption-IPAK Behavior Index issued by the Central Statistics Agency is also like that. The increase is insignificant and fluctuating,'' he continued. Not until there, the KPK also organized an Integrity Asses Survey (SPI) to measure corrupt practices in central and regional government agencies. As a result, it turns out that the community still assesses corruption. Internal and external responses state that corruption is still rampant as indicated with increasingly declining national scores," he stressed.

"So, in Hakordia 2023 the KPK deliberately raises the theme 'Synergy to Eradicate Corruption for Advanced Indonesia'. Because eradicating corruption cannot be done alone by the institution, said Nawawi. In fact, Nawawi also hopes that President Jokowi can strengthen efforts to eradicate corruption. However, this effort must be carried out together. "We at the KPK really hope that you can lead efforts to eradicate corruption in the future by involving all elements of society institutionally," he concluded.
