The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said that understanding a number of points prone to gratification in the management of the state civil apparatus (ASN) human resources (HR) needed to be carried out. This is because corruption prevention can be ineffective if this pattern is not touched.

This was conveyed by the Director of Gratification and Public Services of the KPK, Arif Waluyo Widiarto, in the Gratification Insecurity Point Seminar at Gedhong Pracimasana Kepatihan, Yogyakarta, Monday, December 8.

This activity is a series of events for the 2025 World Anti-Corruption Day (Hakordia).

"The points prone to gratification range from recruitment, promotion of positions, transfer/rotation of employees, to welfare management," said Arif in his presentation.

Although various efforts have been made, such as the implementation of a merit system, digitization through SIASN and CAT, to the development of an integrity zone, the problem of ASN management is still being found. KPK is here to strengthen the prevention system," said Arif.

Meanwhile, KPK Gratification Insecurity Mapping Consultant Sari Wardhani said the point that has the potential to cause bribes or gratuities can be closed with three nodes.

"Integrity cannot rely solely on individuals, but it takes the role of active leaders, transparent systems, and protected human resources," he said.

Meanwhile, Professor of Gadjah Mada University (UGM), Agus Pramusinto emphasized that preventing corruption in ASN cannot be just by regulation. There must be management reforms to planting the value of integrity.

This is because the value of integrity has not been taught since childhood and examples are often found.

"In Indonesia, goods are left behind for a while, often they disappear because those who see it are considered sustenance," concluded Agus.
