PORTALJABAR, BANDUNG CITY - Eradicating corruption is not enough just by commitment alone. This commitment must be actualized in the form of a comprehensive strategy to minimize acts of corruption.

This was stated by the Acting Regional Secretary for the City of Bandung, Hikmat Ginanjar at the Corruption Prevention Program Coordination Meeting at the Bandung City Government (4/4/2024).

"There are three factors that cause someone to commit fraud or an incident (Triangle Fraud Theory), namely pressure, opportunity or opportunity, and rationalization.

"Efforts to prevent corruption can be carried out preventively, detectively and repressively," said Hikmat.

He said, preventing corruption in the city of Bandung in 2024, by submitting complete documents that prove efforts to develop a corruption prevention system.

It's not just mere evidence, but it requires real action with full seriousness by not carrying out corrupt practices.

"Commitment, role and synergy with all relevant stakeholders in the context of building a strong regional corruption prevention system is very important, let's build a clean, corruption-free City of Bandung," he said.

Meanwhile, the Head of the Corruption Task Force for Region 2 of the Indonesian Corruption Eradication Commission, Arief Nur Cahyo, said that there are several strategies for eradicating corruption.

"Starting from taking action, so that someone gets a deterrent effect," he said.

The next strategy, continued Arief, is prevention, one of which is system improvement.

"These people cannot be corrupt because the system is in place. So with current technology it is hoped that they can reduce the number of corruption," he said.

The next strategy is education, by building self-confidence so that corruption does not occur.

"Education is important, a sense of honesty to not want corruption, that must be instilled in oneself," he said.

Arief revealed that there are several points prone to corruption, starting from licensing, regional income to medical rotation.

“There are so many loopholes that can be corrupted, so we have to guard against them so we don't get caught. "Some of them are regional management and revenue, law enforcement processes, ratification of regulations, licensing and public services, recruitment, employee rotation and so on," explained Arief.

Meanwhile, Special Assistant Inspector, Riki Fachdiar, revealed the aims and objectives of the 2024 program coordination meeting as well as monitoring and evaluation of the 2023 corruption eradication program in Bandung City. Among other things, starting the performance of the MCP (Monitoring Center For Prevention) program in 2023.

"Ensuring the implementation and consistency of the corruption prevention system that has been built and accelerating follow-up monitoring of integrity assessments in 2023," he said. (Diskominfo Bandung City/Fauziah)
