This was conveyed when Setyo announced the national SPI in 2025 when the Peak of World Anti-Corruption Day (Hakordia) 2025 at the Yogyakarta Kepatihan Complex today, December 9. He said that one of the districts was caught disclosing the results of the survey even though this process should not be carried out.

"Ini ada satu pengalaman di beberapa tahun sebelumnya, salah satu kabupaten itu memconditionkan hasil survei," kata Setyo dalam sambutannya.

Setyo said the prevention of the integrity survey was carried out by giving instructions to the ranks. Whoever gets WhatsApp from the KPK please report it then collect it in one place then at the briefing later if the question is A plus the answer is A plus. If question B the answer is B minus and so on, "he explained.

"Finally (SPI) the score is good," continued Setyo.

Despite trying to outsmart, Setyo said, this practice was later discovered by his institution. "We have tools, there are tools that can measure this, whether it's true or not," said the former Director of KPK Investigation.

"Then we compare it with the participation documents, we conclude that these are tricks. After we explore it, it turns out that it is true, there is a creation of conditions to be able to make the score in one area good."

As for this year, the SPI score has increased to 72.32 from last year's 71.53 mark. He said the results were still vulnerable because it meant that corruption was still there.
