Indonesia has shared its anti-corruption success story with the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), stressing that sting operation is key to fighting corruption.
The Indonesian Ambassador to Nigeria, Bambang Suharto, made the submission on Monday in Abuja at the ICPC second edition of the International Diplomatic Dialogue, themed “Experience Sharing in Anti-Corruption Strategy: The Indonesian Perspective.”
The ambassador, represented by the Minister Counselor for Political Affairs, Tuty Dityawanty, spoke at the dialogue organised by the Anti-Corruption Academy of Nigeria (ACAN), the research and training arm of the ICPC.
Suharto credited his nation’s Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), with arresting and convicting hundreds of “untouchable elites” through sting operations, institutional reforms and public trust-building, while acknowledging that corruption remains a major challenge.
“Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi or KPK achieved success in prosecuting high-profile officials. It arrested and convicted hundreds of untouchable elites, including ministers, governors, lawmakers, and judges.”
