Jakarta (cidiss.co) – Indonesias Finance Minister Sri Mulyani has asked civil servants in her ministry to take steps to curb all corruption.

The ministry has intensified its supervision against corruption and will evaluate the cases of those detained by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) for involvement in graft.

“We have strengthened (supervision) with the cooperation of the internal obedience directorate, intelligence and other elements, and will carry out evaluation in respective units,” Sri Mulyani assured while speaking at the Risk and Governance Summit (RGS) 2016 here on Monday.

The event was held under the theme, “Ethical Governance: The Soul of Sustainability.”

The minister expressed her disappointment with the fact that an official of the Taxation Directorate General was arrested by the KPK last Monday for alleged corruption.

The taxation official, identified by his initials HS, was arrested by the anti-graft agency at a time when the government has been implementing a tax amnesty scheme.

HS betrayed the principles of governance, efficiency and honesty applied by the Finance Ministry in general and the taxation directorate general in particular, she lamented, adding that publics trust was needed for successful implementation of the tax amnesty program.
