The realm of corruption in Indonesia continues to reach new heights and in some areas seems to be getting worse day by day. Despite many challenges, many still believe that corruption can be eliminated and even prevented. Bambang Brodjonegoro, the Minister of Finance, is one of those individuals who believes corruptive behavior is preventable.
 
Minister Brodjonegoro said that corruption can be prevented by implementing gratification control. According to him, there is a habit within many sectors of society to provide a reward or incentive in the form of goods or money to authorities for the services they provide.
 
“The potential for corruptive behavior is what we seek to prevent through a commitment to gratification control,” saidMinister Brodjonegoro in Jakarta on Wednesday.
 
Minister Brodjonegoro explained that gratification control does not only implicate the ones asking for or receiving it, but also those who provide it. Under this reality, an understanding and active participation from the community and stakeholders is equally important to control such gratification.
 
“Just like efforts in preventing corruption, efforts for gratification control should receive the same attention,” says Minister Brodjonegoro.
 
To support such efforts, Minister Brodjonegoro said that his institution agreed to implement gratification control, starting from himself and all echelon I officials. He hopes that the commitment to gratification control will be more than just words written on a piece of paper.
 
KPK Chairman Taufiqurrahman Ruki believes that a commitment is needed for self-control regarding rewards for those in higher positions. He asserts that every government official has to be able to analyze if there is a hidden agenda when gratification is offered—which may eventually lead to corruption.
 
Vincentius Sonny Loho, Inspector General at the Ministry of Finance, states that the event is an existing form of commitment that the Ministry of Finance has towards gratification control.
 
“We hope that this event serves as a positive momentum as the first step in handling gratification,” says Mr. Loho.
