Jakarta – Synergy between institutions is a key focus for the government in strengthening anti-corruption efforts across various strategic sectors. This collaborative approach is believed to be able to increase the effectiveness of oversight, law enforcement, and prevent corrupt practices in a more measurable manner.
Active participation from various parties besides the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), such as community organizations and anti-corruption communities, is also needed in order to prevent criminal acts of corruption.
Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Chairman Setyo Budiyanto stated that corruption prevention does not only rely on enforcement, but must also be built through a culture of transparency and accountability in governance.
“Transparency means public policies are accessible to the public, while accountability means all government activities must be accountable administratively and legally,” he explained.
Similarly, anti-corruption activist Ni Luh Rositas Dewi said that preventing corruption does not only focus on taking action, but also on mechanisms for building a transparent and accountable system.
“Integrity must be understood as the unity between action and theory, what is said must be implemented,” he said.
Rosita added that corruption cannot be prevented solely through legal action. 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 face difficulties without the support of other parties or stakeholders. Therefore, social control needs to come from collaboration,” he stressed.
He believes that synergy in preventing corruption is not only a matter of institutional policy, but also the formation of 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 watchdog and a driver of change,” Rosita concluded.
