Triumph over KKN crucial

Triumph over KKN crucial

From Media Indonesia

The government has waged a war against corruption, collusion and nepotism (KKN). Governments over the years have had their own ways of eliminating these social maladies and proving their capabilities to the public.

So there has been the anticorruption law, the anticorruption commission, the political contract with the consequence of resignation from government posts, the threat of being sent to prison on Nusakambangan Island and the risk of capital punishment.

In fact, we have succeeded in various things like business ventures, religious fasting, securing different diplomas and jobs, even overcoming breast cancer. But the endeavor to conquer KKN has always failed.

If we can triumph over KKN, the image of our nation will be enhanced rather than blemished. The other victories we have made only have individual dimensions and will not much improve the nation's global reputation.

So, when will the triumph over KKN be achieved? Will it become a reality through the government's 100-day drive, or in a year, or in the next five years?
