"Prevention of corruption without firm action against the perpetrators will not educate," President Jokowi remarked during the signing of a memorandum of understanding on joint action for saving natural resources at the State Palace here on Thursday.
The head of state then called on all parties to gain a common understanding regarding the prevention of corruption and action against corruption crimes.
"Serious action should be taken against the perpetrators of corruption crimes without pursuing popularity at the respective law enforcement agency," the president noted.
He affirmed that every law enforcement agency should coordinate with its corruption eradication partner to stamp out corruption and to prevent institutional ego.
"We need to build synergy between law enforcement institutions, so that corruption can be eliminated completely," the president noted.
The memorandum of understanding on joint action for saving natural resources was signed jointly by all ministries and institutions, and the leaders of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), the National Policy (Polri), the National Defense Forces (TNI), and the Attorney Generals Office.(*)
