TEMPO Interactive, Jakarta: Members of the Indonesian general public still considers the country has a corruptive attitude despite the existence of the Commission for Eradication of Corruption (KPK).<\/p>\n
This conclusion resulted from a survey carried out by KPK between February and June 2008.<\/p>\n
Out of 2,191 respondents, 51.66 percent stated no improvement at all before and after KPK was established.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnly 29.2 percent of respondents stated that the corruptive attitude was reduced,\u201d said M. Jasin, KPK Deputy Chairman for the Prevention Division, on Thursday (7\/8) during a press conference in Jakarta.<\/p>\n
Jasin mentioned that 48.7 percent of respondents stated a decrease in government officials\u2019 attitude in corrupting and corruption cases.<\/p>\n
The survey said that KPK\u2019s establishment did not create a sense of disgrace among people.<\/p>\n
However, the survey showed people still expect KPK to eradicate corruption in Indonesia.<\/p>\n
They see KPK as having higher integrity compared to other law enforcement officers, because they feel that KPK is more independent, fair and has more authority.<\/p>\n
The survey was conducted in Jakarta, Medan, Surabaya, Semarang, Banjarmasin, and Makassar with respondents including university students, private officials, government officials (military and policemen), entrepreneurs, and retired people.<\/p>\n
