Better pay before antigraft drive

Better pay before antigraft drive

From Warta Kota

The government should first promote the welfare of civil
servants, soldiers and retired officials if it wishes to succeed
in fighting corruption, collusion and nepotism, as former
president Abdurrahman Wahid once pointed out.

Though it may seem difficult, if the government is serious in
its effort to improve the economic well-being of the entire
population, particularly the groups mentioned above, harmony will
be achieved in family and bureaucratic environments as the basis
for anti-graft action.

In this way, the nation will earn a good reputation in the
world, instead of being subjected to ridicule by such countries
as Malaysia, because Indonesia is seen as being incapable of
managing its own resources.
