"Papua aims to increase awareness of corruption prevention through the SPI Anti-Corruption Campaign," stated Acting Governor of Papua Ridwan Rumasukun at the campaign's opening on Tuesday.
The campaign seeks to provide understanding and knowledge about corruption prevention, while SPI serves as a tool for assessing the integrity of institutions and agencies.
Rumasukun emphasized the campaign's role in building good governance and maintaining public trust in the government and state agencies.
He also expressed the expectation that the campaign would disseminate information, values, and principles related to corruption prevention across various aspects of life.
Furthermore, the anti-corruption campaign aims to foster a culture that rejects corruption and promotes clean, transparent, and accountable practices.
SPI serves as a survey to identify corruption risks and evaluate the progress of corruption prevention efforts by ministries, agencies, and regional governments.
Rumasukun explained the seven SPI indicators, which include transparency, human resource management, budget management, integrity in performing duties, trading in influence, management of goods and services procurement, and anti-corruption campaigns.
The SPI respondents consist of internal state agency employees, the public, and experts, as per Rumasukun.
To ensure objective assessments, SPI considers factors such as the number of complaint reports, data on corruption case handling by law enforcement officers, and the absence of any directions influencing the survey completion provided by related agencies.
