This begins with anticorruption education and governance improvement starting from detection, action, and monitoring.
"In future, there will be further talks with the ministry concerning the corruption prevention duty area that will be undertaken between the ministry and Satgasus together," Purnomo remarked.
He expects that through assistance from the Special Task Force, the ministry's environment will be an area free from corruption and serve as an example for other ministries or institutions.
He also noted that the corruption prevention undertaken by Satgasus is also conducted in other ministries, including the Ministry of Social Affairs, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, and Ministry of Trade.
He also noted that the Special Task Force's step is an effort to prevent corruption that causes budget leak or power abuse in ministries and institutions.
"This is a direct order from the police chief, who wants Polri to support the government's program, so that there are no hurdles, including from corruption," Purnomo explained.
