KPK Leadership Leads by Example in National Competency Assessments
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is intensifying its graft prevention strategy by upgrading human resource qualifications to meet rigorous national standards. The initiative commenced with an inaugural witness competency test for the anti-corruption sector certification scheme, held at the KPK Anti-Corruption Education Center (ACLC) in South Jakarta. This program ensures that local anti-corruption frameworks remain aligned with evolving national professional benchmarks.
During the assessment, KPK Deputy Chairman Ibnu Basuki Widodo participated directly as an exam candidate to promote institutional accountability. Widodo emphasized that combating corruption requires more than strict enforcement; it relies heavily on measurable integrity and professional expertise. He noted that standardized benchmarks must apply universally across the organization, including to top executives who bear the responsibility of leading by example.
