JAKARTA - Deputy Minister of Law (Wamenkum) Edward Omar Sharif Hiariej believes the success of a modern criminal justice system does not depend on the number of cases solved.
"The success of a criminal justice system in a modern country, in this modern world, is how it prevents crimes from occurring or prevents them from occurring," said the man, familiarly known as Eddy, at the Ministry of Law Office in Jakarta on Tuesday, as quoted by Antara.
Meanwhile, he said that preventing corruption needs to focus on aspects of integrity, transparency, and accountability.
"By integrity, we're talking about personal qualities, morals, ethics, and discipline. When we talk about transparency and accountability, it ultimately boils down to our professionalism. That's what will enable us to prevent corruption, and ultimately, eradicate it," he said.
He further explained that there are four strategic steps to prevent corruption, starting with awareness and then becoming habits.
"First, there is continuous bureaucratic reform. This is very important," he said.
Second, he said, is the role of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), particularly the Deputy for Education and Community Participation and the Deputy for Prevention and Monitoring.
"Third, and no less important, is how we carry out digital transformation, because the fewer, smaller, and less frequent we are in contact with others, the more anti-corruption preventive measures there are, including a reward and punishment system," he said.
Finally, he said, we need to strengthen integrity zones, both Corruption-Free Areas (WBK) and Clean and Serving Bureaucracy Areas (WBBM).
