JAKARTA - The Governor of Southeast Sulawesi (Sultra), Ali Mazi, expressed his commitment to eradicating corruption practices that occur in the region.

"One concrete form of the commitment is to increase cooperation between the Inspectorate of Southeast Sulawesi Province and law enforcement officials, both the High Prosecutor's Office and the Police to control the strategic programs of the provincial and district/city", said Ali Mazi when opening the seminar entitled "Strategy to Prevent Corruption Scope of the Regional Government of Southeast Sulawesi Province" in Kendari, reported by Antara, Tuesday, April 13.

Ali Mazi said a very important thing in order to prevent corruption is the strengthening of the implementation of internal control systems in the government environment, which is carried out massively and continuously.

"This is very relevant to the theme of the seminar, namely 'Through The Improvement of APIP (Government Internal Surveillance Apparatus) Capability and Supervisory Synergy between APIP and APH (Law Enforcement Officers) in Supporting the Realization of Clean Government in Sultra Provincial Government'", he said.

According to Ali Mazi, this seminar is the implementation of a memorandum of understanding between the Audit Board of Finance and Development (BPKP) Representative of Southeast Sulawesi and the provincial government on December 2, 2020.

Furthermore, the improvement of the capabilities of the government's internal supervisory apparatus. Lastly, the supervision of financial governance and regional development.

"To achieve a clean government, not only requires strong enthusiasm but also requires a strong determination.
