In collaboration with Transparency International Indonesia (TII), Paramadina Public Policy Institute (PPPI) held a year-end discussion entitled “Corruption Enforcement and Prevention, and the Future of Corruption Eradication in Indonesia.” The discussion was held at the Nurcholish Madjid Auditorium, Paramadina University, Jakarta, on Thursday, 12 December 2019.
The discussion presented respected speakers. They were PPPI’s Managing Director Ahmad Khoirul Umam, Secretary General of TII Dadang Trisasongko, Faculty member of Paramadina University Retno Hendrowati, Director of Education and Community Services (Dikyanmas) of Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Giri Suprapdiono, and Professor of Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University (UIN) Jakarta Azyumardi Azra.
During the discussion, several issues related to anti-corruption endeavors in Indonesia were discussed and debated. Various indications indicate that the eradication of corruption remains an important agenda for Indonesia in the future. This agenda is imperative in order to realize the Indonesian dream of clean government as the main fuel of the ship of good governance.
Also, of common concern is the fact that corruption crimes appear increasingly sophisticated and widespread. As an important part of the corruption eradication agenda, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) would experience a change of leadership. Those new members of the KPK leadership are consistently in spotlight especially regarding the way they lead and determine how effective the institution’s performance will be.
Recently, both commissioners and members of the KPK supervisory board have been appointed and sworn in. With such great challenges, it is hoped that the elected commissioners and supervisory board members can maintain their determination in their anti-corruption work. They are also expected to continue to uphold the values of integrity, independence, and freedom from interests in combating corruption in Indonesia. (*)
