Stop Tricks! Prabowo-Gibran Move Quickly to Eradicate Corruption

Jakarta – The government of President Prabowo Subianto and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka has emphasized its commitment to creating clean governance that is free from corrupt practices. Various strategic steps have been implemented, including increasing budget transparency and empowering the community in monitoring public policies.

Acting Director of Community Participation Development at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), Rommy Iman Sulaiman, emphasized that eradicating corruption is not only the responsibility of the government and law enforcement officers, but also requires the active role of the community.

“Religious and community leaders have a big influence in shaping public attitudes and behavior. Through this forum, we want to build collective awareness that corruption not only harms state finances, but also injures moral values ​​that are the basis of social life,” said Rommy.

He added that through an approach based on religious and community values, the KPK is optimistic that the anti-corruption culture will become more ingrained in everyday life. Synergy between the government, society, and religious figures is expected to strengthen the integrity of the nation in fighting corruption practices that have long eroded the government system.

Head of the Regional Office of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of Banten Province, Nanang Fatchurochman, also appreciated the KPK’s initiative in involving religious figures in anti-corruption education efforts.

“We really appreciate and are grateful for this cooperation. The knowledge and insight provided by the KPK enlightens the people of Banten,” said Nanang.

Meanwhile, public policy observer from Trisakti University, Trubus Rahadiansyah, highlighted President Prabowo’s steps instructing budget efficiency as an effort to prevent potential mark-ups and misuse of state funds. According to him, this policy is important to ensure that every rupiah budgeted is truly used for the benefit of the community.

“President Prabowo emphasized that there should be no duplicate programs or programs created only as a way to ‘cheat’ the budget. He called this a corruption mode that must be eradicated,” said Trubus.

He also emphasized that anyone who rejects the budget efficiency policy is suspected of enjoying mark-ups in the bureaucratic system.

Trubus reminded that budget efficiency must be a concern for all parties, including ministers and regional officials.

“Many agencies complain on social media, while there are also officials who do not understand financial management and only accept reports from their subordinates without directly checking the programs that are running,” he said.

With the strategic steps implemented, the Prabowo-Gibran government has shown a strong commitment to closing the gaps for corruption. The public is expected to play an active role in overseeing policies so that Indonesia can progress further with transparent and integrated governance.
