Jakarta – The government continues to strengthen anti-corruption policies in all sectors of life, both through legal approaches and increasing public awareness.
One of the latest efforts is the launch of the 2025 Anti-Corruption Campaign by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), which is not only a ceremonial activity, but is initiated as a national movement to build a culture of integrity.
“We are running this campaign to raise public awareness of the importance of integrity in everyday life. All elements of society must be actively involved, not just the KPK, to work together to eradicate corruption,” said Wawan Wardiana, Deputy for Education and Community Participation of the KPK.
The campaign carries nine integrity values summarized in the acronym JUMAT BERSEPEDA KK, namely Honest, Independent, Responsible, Brave, Simple, Caring, Disciplined, Fair, and Hard Work.
The accompanying activities target various groups, including the Jelajah Negeri Bangun Antikorupsi program, the Anti-Corruption Film Festival (ACFFEST), and digital campaigns such as Suara Antikorupsi.
“We want to raise public awareness with a fresher approach that is closer to their daily lives, one of which is through social media and digital campaigns. This is important so that the anti-corruption message becomes more grounded,” explained Wawan.
The Director of Socialization and Anti-Corruption Campaign of the Corruption Eradication Committee (KPK), Amir Arief, added that 2025 is an important momentum in building broader collaboration, including with the private sector and local governments.
“We will invite, let’s produce public service announcements together. Or the public can also participate in ACFFEST. This is part of a real contribution to eradicating corruption,” he said.
At the global level, the government is also strengthening the legal framework for eradicating corruption through international cooperation.
Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, Airlangga Hartarto, announced that Indonesia is committed to joining the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention as part of the OECD membership requirements.
“Indonesia has delivered a letter from the KPK Chairman stating its intention to join the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention,” said Airlangga.
This convention provides a legal basis for eradicating cross-border bribery practices, including by corporations.
“By joining forces, we will have the tools to handle foreign bribery cases, which so far have not been investigated due to regulatory limitations,” he stressed.
This step shows that the government is serious about building an integrated anti-corruption system from local to global levels, in order to realize clean and transparent governance in all sectors.***
