The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said efforts to eradicate corruption cannot be carried out alone. There needs to be breakthroughs and cooperation with all parties.

This was conveyed by the Deputy for Prevention and Monitoring of the KPK, Pahala Nainggolan, in response to the Indonesian corruption perception index (CPI) which declined to 4 points at 34.

"Now what we need is breakthroughs and joint work. The KPK cannot alone need extraordinary work from all parties until finally we can be sure that CPI can later increase," Pahala said in a written statement, quoted Wednesday, February 1.

The decline in Indonesia's GPA is also a marker of a solution that must be sought immediately, said Pahala. If it is not resolved immediately, it is not impossible that the state of eradicating corruption in the country could get worse.

"We must make breakthroughs among all stakeholders both at the central and regional levels," he said.

The first breakthrough that Pahala mentioned was an attempt to stop conflicts of interest. However, until now there has been no attempt to improve.

The proof is that corruption in the procurement of goods and services is still being handled by the KPK. Not only that, the KPK also highlighted that there are still many regional heads and institutions that are business people.

The second breakthrough was in the political sector that dragged parties in the country. "KPK has often encouraged the addition of the political party budget to be more independent. So that the government can hold the government accountable for the openness reports of every political party," he said.

"We also hope that the harmonization of various policies between ministries, institutions, and local governments will overlap. So that operational implementation in the field is no longer hampered and has the opportunity to create potential for corruption," he continued.

Finally, the KPK also mentioned the importance of strengthening government internal control apparatus (APIP). There are four points that must be improved, namely the availability of human resources, authority, budget, and competence.

"The decline in CPI scores is a record for all stakeholders, both government, business actors, and the general public. Collaborative and accelerated joint improvement efforts are expected to become new commitments and breakthroughs in eradicating corruption in the future," concluded Pahala.
