JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Johanis Tanak reminded Budi Waluya who was inaugurated as Acting Regent of Ciamis to maintain integrity. Do not let the Director of Public Reports and Complaints Service (PLPM) be tempted to practice corruption.

This was conveyed by Johanis while attending Budi's inauguration at Pakuan Building, Bandung, West Java today, Friday, November 1. He hopes that his subordinates can transmit anti-corruption values in the area he leads.

"Don't let the snares of corruption be tempted because the task as a regional head is not easy," Johanis said as quoted from his written statement.

"Keep maintaining integrity even though you are not on duty at the KPK and spread the spirit of anti-corruption," he continued.

Johanis hopes that this new task for his subordinates can make the KPK play an active role in creating transparency and accountability at the regional level. "At the same time, you can directly monitor existing problems for improvement at this time as well as suggestions and evaluations when the assignment is complete," he said.

Meanwhile, Budi Waluya ensured that efforts to strengthen bureaucratic integrity in Ciamis Regency were his concern. Synergy with the KPK will also be strengthened for the sake of governance that is free of corruption.

"Of course this is a momentum to bring the values of integrity and anti-corruption that have been at the KPK to the regions," said Budi after being inaugurated.

"We (in the future, ed) can take pictures of problems and challenges in Ciamis in a broader perspective and this is good for us at the KPK because we can see how the regional conditions are directly in the field," he concluded.
