**Corruption Prevention Scores in Semarang Disappointed by Mbak Ita’s Case**
JAKARTA – The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has raised concerns over the high Monitoring Center for Prevention (MCP) scores in Semarang City, which were tarnished by a case of alleged corruption in the procurement of goods and services within the Semarang City Government.
The case involves one of the suspects, Semarang Mayor Hevearita Gunaryanti Rahayu, also known as Mbak Ita. The KPK spokesperson, Budi Prasetyo, expressed regret over the alleged corruption related to the procurement of goods and services in Semarang City.
According to Budi, the KPK has been actively involved in preventing corruption, including through coordination and supervision using the MCP instrument. The MCP score for Semarang City in 2024 reached 97, with specific scores for various categories.
Intensive Corruption Prevention Efforts
Budi emphasized the importance of individual commitment to maintain integrity and anti-corruption values, especially in light of the ongoing allegations of corruption. The KPK has been engaging in various activities to raise awareness and promote anti-corruption efforts, such as the Anti-Corruption Bus Roadshow program in 2024.
This initiative has involved students, the general public, and local government officials to enhance public understanding and strengthen collaboration towards a clean and transparent government.
Educational Approach to Anti-Corruption
Furthermore, the KPK has been actively promoting anti-corruption curriculum implementation at all levels of education to create an integrated educational ecosystem. The recent allegations of corruption in the procurement of school furniture have prompted the KPK to conduct the Integrity Assessment Survey for Education (SPI Pendidikan) to assess the integrity of the education system.
The findings from this survey are expected to serve as a basis for recommendations to enhance character education and anti-corruption culture in a more targeted manner.
In conclusion, the case involving Mbak Ita has shed light on the importance of maintaining integrity and anti-corruption efforts at both individual and institutional levels. The KPK’s continued focus on prevention and education underscores the ongoing commitment to combat corruption and promote transparency in Semarang City and beyond.
