According to Corruption Eradication Commission (“KPK”) data, there are currently 61 ongoing cases of corruption involving regional heads at both the provincial and district levels within Indonesia. In order to get a grip on this problem, the KPK has formulated a program that is aiming to cleanly elect nine regional heads and 269 mayors simultaneously, stamping out the cancer of corruption at the level of regional government. Thus states a KPK press release received by Hukumonline on 31 August 2015.An event is planned for December 2015 at which this new program will be socialized across nine provinces and two regents/cities. The event will encompass all of the relevant parties taking part in the forthcoming elections with the goal of finding regional candidates and regional-head election organizers with integrity. The socialization program will also lead to declarations of regional-election integrity, electoral integrity and political-party integrity.
The provinces set to elect new regional-heads are: West Sumatra, Jambi, Bengkulu, The Riau Archipelago, Central Borneo, South Borneo, North Borneo, North Celebes, Central Celebes, the City of Surabaya and the District of Bandung. In order to reassure the populations of these regions, the socialization events will be held in cooperation with the Regional General Election Commission (“KPUD”), and Regional Elections Monitoring Body (“Bawaslu”), as well as public figures and organizations in these regions.
Adnan Pandu Praja, Chief Deputy of the KPK, sees the importance of this new initiative in the light of the prevalence of money politics in the country. According to Mr. Praja, it is hoped that integrity will prevail and that regional heads who are honest, able to fulfill the mandate of the people and bring prosperity to Indonesia will be elected in the regions in which they will lead.
The KPK has also requested the active participation of the people in the accurate reporting of candidates who are involved in money politics during the campaign. As for the regional-head candidates themselves, a VCD is to be released which will inform and educate them regarding standards of integrity that should be upheld during the elections.
Daniel Zuhron, Commissioner of the Elections Monitoring Body has stated that this integrity-based, regional-election program demonstrates that an increasing number of parties are monitoring the upcoming elections and that people must choose their leaders wisely.
“The regional-head elections are now under strict control, whether it be the election process itself or the monitoring of corruption,” concluded Mr. Zuhron.
