The Corruption Eradication Commission, or KPK, on Thursday signed a memorandum
of understanding with related government ministries and institutions to boost
corruption eradication in Indonesia’s natural resource sector.
“Signing
this MoU is like a way for the KPK to look into each ministry and to help solve
any natural resources-related problems they might have within them,” acting KPK
chairman, Taufiqurrachman Ruki, told news portal detik.com.
KPK deputy
chairman Johan Budi said new regulations would likely result from the MoU. He
was unable to give a time frame or provide further detail.
“In this
2015 MoU we included the marine and plantation sectors,” he said. “Those two
sectors were not included in 2014’s MoU. The ministries will make an action
plan after the signing and we will monitor it.”
The purpose
of the document is to beef up anti-corruption oversight of the country’s
natural resources, from hydrocarbons to marine stocks.
“The MoU
has to be realized,” President Joko Widodo said. “We should work together on
eradicating corruption in the sector — it could lead to eradicating corruption
for good.”
