Responding To The Political Indicator Survey, KPK: There Is An Improved Perception Of Corruption Eradication Compared To Previously

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) responded to the results of a survey from the Indonesian Political Indicators survey agency, which showed that 36.2 percent thought that the eradication of corruption was still poor. Acting KPK spokesman Ali Fikri said the results of the latest measurement showed an improvement in public perception of corruption eradication, when compared to similar measurements in the previous period.

Ali Fikri emphasized that the KPK is committed to continuously improving its performance and synergies with other law enforcement officers. Such as ministries, institutions, local governments, BUMN/BUMD, academics, and other community members in handling corruption crimes, as well as anti-corruption prevention and education efforts.

"The majority of these good perceptions are optimism for eradicating corruption," said Ali Fikri in a statement received in Jakarta, Friday, April 29.

Ali Fikri said that in the Integrity Assessment Survey (SPI) by the KPK, which involved more than 255 thousand respondents, the Integrity index score of 72.4 was obtained. This achievement, he said, exceeded the national target set out in the RPJMN of 70.

"Besides, what is far more important than the integrity index score is that we can diagnose corruption-prone points in agencies that are measured objectively and validly," he said.

That way, according to Ali Fikri, the SPI becomes a constructive survey, because it is equipped with concrete recommendations to be followed up so that efforts to prevent corruption continue to improve.

"The result is more than just a score. So that continuous improvement efforts are a shared commitment to create an Indonesia that is advanced, prosperous, prosperous, and free from corruption," he said. Previously, the Indonesian Political Indicator released a survey entitled Public Perceptions of the Performance of Law Enforcement Agencies in Eradicating Corruption in Indonesia virtually, Thursday, April 28.

"In terms of eradicating corruption, there are still many respondents in our telephone survey who said that our corruption eradication condition is bad or very bad compared to good or very good," said Executive Director of Indonesian Political Indicator Burhanuddin Muhtadi.

A total of 36.2 percent of the public considered the eradication of corruption in Indonesia bad or very bad, while 30.2 percent of the public considered it moderate, and 24 percent of the public considered it very good.

Burhanuddin explained about the trend of corruption eradication conditions starting in July 2021 to April 2022. It was noted that the public condition that assessed the conditions for eradicating corruption as good in Indonesia had decreased from 28.1 percent on April 14-19 2022 to 24 percent on April 20-25 2022. .

However, according to him, the public trend of assessing the bad condition of eradicating corruption has also decreased, from 37.8 percent on April 14-19 2022 to 36.2 percent on April 20-25 2022.

"Well, once again the trend is saying something interesting here, in April 14-19 April those who had a negative perception of eradicating corruption increased sharply compared to February, but the trend of increasing negative perceptions of eradicating corruption declined again in April 2022," he said.
