        "content": "<p>The Ministry of Immigration and Corrections (Kemenimipas) has\nstressed the need to strengthen the Directorate General of Immigration\u2019s\ncommitment to clean and professional law enforcement. It said that the\nauthority to conduct immigration supervision and enforcement must be\nexercised with integrity and professionalism, and in compliance with\nregulations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s change before others change us,\u201d Kemenimipas Inspector-General\nRudi Setiawan told participants at the 2026 Immigration Supervision and\nEnforcement Coordination Meeting in Bandung, West Java, on Wednesday (14\nOctober 2026).<\/p>\n<p>Rudi also referred to cases involving foreign nationals overstaying\ntheir visas, disturbances to security and public order in Morowali,\nsuspected use of fictitious documents, and misuse of residence permits.\nHe said these immigration violations should serve as material for staff\nto review and evaluate their work.<\/p>\n<p>He urged officials to prioritise risk-based oversight, careful\ndocument verification and stronger coordination between institutions.\n\u201cLet us make integrity our foundation, authority a trust, and\naccountability a requirement in carrying out every duty,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Rudi said the ministry was implementing the Three Lines Model to\nprevent misconduct. The first line consists of work-unit leaders as risk\nowners; the second is the Directorate of Internal Compliance or Internal\nControl Unit; and the third is the Inspectorate General, which provides\nindependent assessment and quality assurance.<\/p>\n<p>Immigration supervision and enforcement officials have also been\ninstructed to make optimal use of the ministry\u2019s five internal oversight\ninstruments: the Whistleblowing System (WBS), SIM-RISK, CARAKA, AREP and\ninvestigations. The instruments are expected to improve early detection,\nadministrative discipline and objective, evidence-based handling of\nsuspected misconduct.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll immigration officials and officers must proactively improve the\ninstitution\u2019s governance. Internal change is a strategic reflection\nbefore demands arise from outside. Addressing every weakness, managing\nrisks properly and making integrity the main foundation are absolute\nrequirements in the work of all Immigration and Corrections personnel,\u201d\nRudi said.<\/p>",
