Overview

The fight against corruption has remained a central theme for law enforcement since the beginning of the reformasi period in 1998. The daily occurrences of public officials enriching themselves by abusing their power, especially officials who have access to taxpayers’ money has made Indonesia suffer great financial losses, not to mention the domino effect of the evil deeds of these officials such as hampering national economic development,[1] infrastructure development,[2] and the improvement of the national education system which is in dire need of greater funding.[3]
