Eradicating KKN

Eradicating KKN

From Republika

Allow me to suggest that, in the eradication of corruption, collusion and nepotism (KKN), those involved in these practices must be given a chance to repent if they are willing to admit their misconduct and surrender to the government part of what they have unlawfully acquired.

It may be arranged that a certain progressive percentage will be stipulated for the assets to be handed over to the government and also that the time for repentance is limited to a certain period.

All of this must be contained in a legal procedure to ensure that everything can proceed well and that there will be no revenge in the future. Input from lawyers, religious and community figures will be needed.

It is hoped that the funds collected in this way may cover the budget deficit and can even be used to pay offshore loans. What is important, however, is that there is legal certainty and that justice is served in harmony with our hope for a better future for the nation.
