JAKARTA - The interim chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Nawawi Pomolango had mentioned road infrastructure in Lampung Province. He said the construction made President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) disappointed.

This was conveyed by Nawawi during the commemoration of World Anti-Corruption Day (Hakordia) today, Tuesday, December 12. Initially, it was about the phenomenon of knock-on money and the low absorption of local government budgets so that infrastructure development was not right.

"The priority of road infrastructure development has disappointed the President in Lampung Province," said Nawawi at Istora Senayan, Jakarta.

Not only that, Nawawi also touched on issues related to national priority programs that were not in line with the local government's budget. For example, related to stunting alleviation, extreme poverty to inaccurate health programs. As a result, the implementation in the field has become disrupted.

"Rare times at the field level, the budget is not available," he said.

To overcome this problem, the KPK together with the National Corruption Prevention Strategy team (Stranas PK) implemented the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE). The form of the SPBE is an application of the Regional Government Information System (SIPD).

Nawawi explained that the system controlled by the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) provides data on planning processes, budgeting, administration, as well as financial reporting and development results.

SIPD is expected to be a tool to prevent corruption, encourage the efficiency and effectiveness of the government's budget. The Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) of the National Planning and Development Agency (Bappenas) and the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) can also be helped by this program.

"From the village level to the center, it has been connected to SIPD," he concluded.
