Central Java Strengthens Integrated Oversight to Prevent Corruption

The Central Java provincial government is strengthening its integrated oversight system to prevent corruption and irregularities within government. The effort involves collaboration between the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), the Audit Board (BPK), the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) and local government inspectorates.

Central Java Governor Ahmad Luthfi reaffirmed this commitment while attending the Central Java Regional Oversight Forum, themed “Early Detection and an Integrated Corruption Prevention Early Warning System”, at Grhadika Bhakti Praja building in Semarang on Tuesday (3 November).

“Today we are working together on oversight functions carried out by the KPK, BPKP, BPK and our inspectorates,” Luthfi said in a statement.

He said oversight should take place from the planning stage through to the implementation of government programmes, as an early measure to mitigate the risk of irregularities.

Central Java Inspector Endro Hudiyono said the provincial government had retained an unqualified opinion from the BPK for 15 consecutive years.

The province also recorded a Bureaucratic Reform Index of 97.58, rated A, an integrity index of 82.85, also rated A, and a score of 96.00 on the KPK’s Monitoring Centre for Prevention (MCP) programme.

Compliance with asset declaration filings (LHKPN) among 1,515 people required to report, and annual tax returns among 47,577 people required to file, both stood at 100 per cent.
