The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) of the Republic of\nIndonesia has invited the people of Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan,\nto play an active role in preventing corruption practices by supervising\npublic services and local government administration.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need the participation of the community to act as a balance and a\ncontrol. Sometimes we only have administrative documents, but we need to\nknow the facts occurring on the ground,\u201d said Kunto Ariawan, Director of\nCommunity Participation Development at the KPK, in Palangka Raya on\nFriday.<\/p>\n
To this end, he urged the public not to hesitate to report issues\nregarding public services or practices that could potentially lead to\ncorruption. Such reports can be submitted to the KPK or the Palangka\nRaya City Inspectorate for follow-up as part of efforts to improve\ngovernance.<\/p>\n
These statements were made during the Technical Guidance for the 2026\nAnti-Corruption Regency\/City programme held in Palangka Raya, following\nthe city\u2019s designation as a pilot project for anti-corruption. Kunto\nstated that the Anti-Corruption Regency\/City programme is a KPK\ninitiative to encourage the creation of model regions that implement\nclean, transparent, and accountable governance in every province. The\nprogramme, which began in 2024, aims to establish at least one model\nregion in each province.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 2026, we are conducting observations of seven regencies\/cities\nand have identified three candidates for anti-corruption model cities:\nPalangka Raya, Asahan Regency, and Hulu Sungai Selatan Regency,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n
He explained that in 2024, the KPK observed 15 regencies\/cities and\nestablished four model areas: Badung Regency, Kulon Progo Regency,\nPayakumbuh City, and Surakarta City. In 2025, observations were\nconducted across 36 regions, resulting in three anti-corruption model\nareas: Blitar City, Mataram City, and North Minahasa Regency.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Mayor of Palangka Raya, Fairid Naparin, expressed his\nappreciation for the KPK\u2019s trust in his region. He noted that this\nachievement is the result of continuous efforts to improve\ngovernance.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is proof of the city government\u2019s commitment to achieving\ngreater openness, transparency, and improved public services. Before\nentering the top three, there was certainly a series of assessments and\nobservations showing that Palangka Raya meets the established\nstandards,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
Consequently, the Palangka Raya City Government remains open to\nsuggestions, guidance, supervision, and assistance from the Corruption\nEradication Commission as a strategic partner in strengthening clean and\nhigh-integrity governance.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/kpk-urges-public-participation-in-preventing-corruption-practices-1780815225", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
