Challenges and Government Efforts in Increasing the Effectiveness of Handling Corruption
Handling criminal acts of corruption in Indonesia has become the main focus in efforts to create a clean government with integrity. However, until now, these efforts are still faced with a number of issues that need to be addressed. One of the main challenges is the continued prevalence of criminal acts of corruption and the lack of optimal efforts to prevent corruption.
The government has taken various steps to prevent corruption, one of which is through the implementation of the Education Integrity Assessment Survey (SPI) by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). SPI Education is a measuring tool that supports National Priority 4, namely Mental Revolution and Cultural Development in the 2020-2024 RPJMN.
It is hoped that SPI Education can be the first step in making a real contribution to forming superior Indonesian people in order to achieve the vision of a Golden Indonesia 2045.
The government has determined six corruption prevention programs that are its focus for the period 2023 to 2024:
First, Strengthening the Digitalization of Planning, Budgeting and Reporting. This step is aimed at creating synergy in the extreme poverty alleviation program.
Second, improving the performance of development spending. By increasing the effectiveness of audits of government procurement of goods or services, it is hoped that the potential for corruption in the development process can be reduced.
Third, Strengthening the Governance of Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP). Especially for mineral and coal commodities, the aim is to increase transparency and accountability in natural resource management.
Fourth, reduce the risk of state revenue leakage. This step is carried out by structuring the central government’s fixed assets, to prevent potential misuse and corruption.
Fifth, Strengthening Political Parties in Preventing Corruption. Through this step, it is hoped that political parties can become a more active part in monitoring and preventing corrupt practices.
Sixth, Optimizing NIK-Based Data Interoperability. The aim is to improve coordination and efficiency in implementing government programs by utilizing accurate and integrated data.
By implementing these corruption prevention programs, it is hoped that the government can overcome existing challenges and make Indonesia a country free from corruption and realize the vision of a Golden Indonesia 2045.
