"Anti-corruption culture can be inculcated early within the family," Fasli noted, adding that to implement anti-corruption campaigns, BKKBN has initiated cooperation with the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).
He noted that BKKBN has been cooperating with KPK to familiarize the National Family Planning and Population Board, as well as the wider communities, with anti-corruption campaigns.
According to him, BKKBN will include anti-corruption message in every talk show on family empowerment, population and family planning, in addition to broadcasting short dialog and movies based on corruption eradication efforts within the family.
Meanwhile, deputy chairman of KPK Bambang Widjojanto stated recently that the Corruption Eradication Commission was seeking to give a deterrent effect on corrupt people, a breakthrough in the fight against corruption in the country, one of the worlds most corrupt nations.
"Adoption of the law on money laundering is part of the breakthrough to stamp out corruption and to recover state losses inflicted by corrupt people, as much as possible," Bambang explained.
Another KPK deputy chairman, Zulkarnain, added that the number of reports on people allegedly receiving illegal gratification money hit a record high in 2013 or the highest in 10 years.
Zulkarnain explained that the KPK received 1,300 reports of people allegedly accepting illegal gratification money in 2013, involving lawmakers, and officials of government agencies, state companies and independent bodies.
According to KPK Chairman Abraham Samad, the commission paid Rp1.542 trillion to the state treasury as non tax income in 2013.
The fund included Rp346.2 billion in unspent budget of the anti graft body and the rest or Rp1,196 trillion were funds recovered from state losses as corruption and graft.
He added that the funds recovered by KPK from state losses by way of corruption and graft included cash and funds from the sales of assets confiscated from convicts, fines and cost imposed on convicts.
