Synergy is Key to the Government’s Corruption Eradication Efforts

Jakarta – Synergy between institutions is a primary focus for the government in strengthening corruption eradication efforts across various strategic sectors. This collaborative approach is believed to increase the effectiveness of supervision, law enforcement, and prevent corrupt practices in a more measurable manner.

The active participation of various parties, in addition to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), such as civil society organizations and anti-corruption communities, is also necessary to prevent corruption.

KPK Chairman Setyo Budiyanto stated that corruption prevention does not rely solely on enforcement but must also be built through a culture of transparency and accountability in government administration.

“Transparency means that public policies are accessible to the public, while accountability means that all government activities must be accountable administratively and legally,” he explained.

Echoing this sentiment, anti-corruption activist Ni Luh Rositas Dewi stated that corruption prevention focuses not only on enforcement but also on mechanisms for building a transparent and accountable system.

“Integrity must be understood as a unity between action and theory; what is said must be implemented,” she said.

Rosita added that corruption cannot be prevented solely through legal enforcement. Synergy is a strategic step to ensure all elements work in a unified and coordinated framework to build a clean, transparent, and accountable government system.

“Corruption prevention efforts cannot be carried out alone. A single institution alone will be superior without the support of other parties or stakeholders, so social control must come from collaboration,” she emphasized.

She believes that synergy in corruption prevention is not only a matter of institutional policy, but also the formation of a collective awareness that makes anti-corruption a shared norm.

“The success of this effort depends on political consistency, courage in law enforcement, and active public participation as both a monitor and a driver of change,” Rosita concluded. ***
