JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan said the prevention of corruption is more important for the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) than conducting hand-catching operations (OTT) or crackdowns.

Because the eradication of corruption according to him is not only limited to cracking down on corruptors, but also preventing corruption practices from occurring.

"We've been very happy to see that much OTT. But it's not enough just with OTT. OTT is just the end, it is precisely this prevention that is more important," Luhut said in the launch of stranas PK 2021-2022 corruption prevention action that aired on YouTube KPK RI, Tuesday, April 13.

By preventing corruption, he said, trillions of dollars could be saved. "It's so important. I asked kpk to help because KPK has the right magic name," he said.

"But don't make it negative. It's like just catching it, it's not like that," Luhut added.

There is also one way of prevention that kpk can help is to digitize the bureaucracy. This automated method is considered to be able to close the gap in corruption practices.

"Trillions we can prevent to not be corrupted by digitalization that we develop in the government. So (in the future, red) there is no room for people to go because everything goes automatically," he concluded.
