Indonesia’s corruption perception index has improved from 1.8 in 2002 to 3.2 this year. This latest rating places Indonesia first among Southeast Asian nations and also in the top five countries in the world that have made significant improvements on the corruption perception index.
“This new index gives us a glimmer of hope among the often publicized corruption scandals,” said Sujarnako, Director of Interagency Network Development at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in Jakarta in Thursday.
This significant improvement, as Sujarnako explained, started in 2010 when the United Nations challenged Indonesia to implement the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC). Once the challenged was accepted, the United Kingdom and Uzbekistan were appointed by the UN to review Indonesia’s implementation of the UNCAC.
Based on the review, 32 recommendations were given. These recommendations were then used by the Government as a basis for an action plan to combat corruption including legislation on illegal gratification and its criminalization in both the public and private sectors.
“The recommendations mostly dealt with criminalization, “added Sujarnako.
The successful efforts of Indonesia in implementing the UNCAC and improving its corruption perception index has put Indonesia at the center of international attention. Sujarnako added that Cambodia and Brunei Darussalam are now requesting Indonesia to assist with a review of UNCAC implementation in their countries.
On a the different occasion, Agung Hardjono, Deputy II at the Presidential Working Unit for Supervision and Management of Development, said that the corruption prevention measures have created a better public service. An example is the development of one stop services for permit and license applications.
“Transparency in the public service in Indonesia has significantly improved due to the substantial corruption prevention measures. However, public supervision is still needed for assessment of the quality of services,” said Agung.
