Jakarta (Antara Bali) - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) held a meeting
with a number of cabinet ministers and related officials in his office
here on Friday to plan a national strategy to eradicate and prevent
corruption.
He said while opening the meeting that he had issued Presidential
Instruction (Inpres) Number 7, 2015, on Eradication and Prevention of
Corruption.
"In the framework of realizing a clean and corruption-free
government, this evening, we will discuss a national strategy to
eradicate and prevent corruption," he emphasized.
President Joko Widodo reiterated that Indonesia wished to step up
efforts to prevent and completely do away with the crime to achieve its
growth target.
"We wish to build a good mechanism with accurate accountability
through the development of e-budgeting, e-purchasing, e-cataloguing and
e-auditing systems, as well as an online tax system," he stated.
The president further noted that he believes an online system would
be able to strengthen supervision and accountability at the levels of
both national and regional governments.
"I am convinced this will reduce corruption significantly in regions as well as the national level," he remarked. (WDY)
