WORLD.WARTAGLOBAL.id - President Joko Widodo has responded to the recent corruption case involving a railway project in South Sulawesi, which was raided by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).
In a press statement, President Jokowi stated that the government will take strict action if there are indications of legal violations in the implementation of government projects. He also stressed that no one can stop the government's efforts to eradicate corruption.
However, President Jokowi emphasized that not all government projects have corruption issues and that most government projects are running well and benefiting the public.
Previously, the KPK had arrested several officials and businessmen related to the railway project in South Sulawesi, who were suspected of being involved in corruption. In the raid, the KPK seized a significant amount of cash and assets that were allegedly related to corrupt practices.
This incident shows that corrupt practices still exist in the implementation of government projects in Indonesia. Therefore, the government must make greater efforts to eradicate corruption and ensure that government projects are implemented transparently and accountably.
As citizens, we must also play a role in eradicating corruption by not giving bribes or gratuities to government officials and by reporting any indications of corruption around us.
The government and society must work together to create an environment that is free from corruption, so that government projects can run well and provide maximum benefits to the public. The government must also strengthen the supervision and audit system for the implementation of government projects to ensure that they are running smoothly and do not violate the law.
On the other hand, companies involved in government projects must also comply with the rules and not engage in corrupt practices. Companies must ensure that all procurement and project implementation processes are carried out transparently and accountably.
In order to increase transparency and accountability, the government must also strengthen the procurement system for goods and services that is open and competitive. This way, companies involved in government projects can compete fairly and not engage in corrupt practices.
The recent corruption case related to the railway project in South Sulawesi must be used as a momentum to increase efforts to eradicate corruption in Indonesia. In the long run, the eradication of corruption can bring positive impacts to the country's development and the welfare of its people. (Word.*/)
