JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) revealed a number of problems in port management in the country that were found when carrying out an action plan to improve governance. One of them is overlapping between institutions.

"Starting from 2021, we will carry out an action plan and we are surprised that at the port there are 16 institutions that play there and there are no commanders," said Deputy for Prevention and Monitoring of the KPK who is also the Coordinator of the National Strategy for Corruption Prevention (Stranas PK) Pahala Nainggolan in a discussion at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, Tuesday, July 2.

Pahala then compared these conditions with those abroad. "(There, red) there is a port authority," he said.

"He (the port authority, ed) determines standards... all kinds of him determines, the others are behind. Indonesia has no port authority," he continued.

This condition makes the KPK move because coordination is important.

The first problem we have encountered is that this port improvement involves 16 including the private sector, including the government and no commanders," Pahala explained.

"Now the movement of goods in 264 ports and 2,000 private ports, at least we can monitor the quantity. At least this country is getting better," he concluded.
