JAKARTA - The presidential candidate from the PDI-P, Ganjar Pranowo attended a photo exhibition for the 25th Anniversary of Reform at Graha Pena, Central Jakarta, Saturday, May 13.

Also attending the event were 98 activists, including Adian Napitupulu, Sofian, Nico Sitanggang, Ari Maulana, Arnold Tenu and others.

In an interview with reporters, Ganjar Pranowo emphasized that eradicating corruption was an urgent homework to complete after 25 years of reform.

Even though it has shown a better effort, the eradication of corruption is still considered incomplete.

"In the past, the community said that the government must be free from the KKN. Today the effort is starting to exist, but corruption has not been completed. So this is PR, which we must solve together today," he said.

The way that must be done to eradicate corruption, Ganjar continued, is law enforcement. Law enforcement reform must be carried out in Indonesia.

"Eradication of corruption, yes law enforcement. So the reforms that are there. That must be a priority for all of us," he explained.

In addition to law enforcement, human rights violations, Ganjar continued, still need attention. Records of human rights violations at that time were still resolved. Therefore, according to him, this reform must be completed.

Even so, there are many results of the reform struggle that have gone well. For example, regarding regional autonomy that was previously demanded, today it is running and innovation is much better.

"But of course, everyone will evaluate which ones are the best and then can be followed. Today's bureaucratic reform is increasingly emerging in the regions with their respective innovations. I think those are also parts that we cannot leave behind," he said.

In addition, many 98 activists currently sit in government. They can continue the unfinished struggle.

"There are many people who have been active in 98, finally also sit in public positions. Now he is controlled by the people, including the younger students who today will also control their brothers," he said.
