The Indonesia’s Anti Corruption Strategies: A Gap Analysis to The UNCAC’S Preventive Measurarements

Abstract

The reseach puspose is to explore the implementation of anti corruption strategies in Indonesia compared to UNCAC’S preventive measure standards. By using descriptive qualitative research methods, this study sought to analyze Indonesia’s corruption eradication strategies compared to the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC), with a focus on its preventive measures. The results showed that the implementation of five UNCAC’s preventive measures were carried out ineffectively. First, Law Number 19 of 2019 had a negative impact on the independence of Indonesia’s anti-corruption agency. Its impaired independence was particularly reflected in ambiguous authority of the KPK’s Supervisory Board and the loss of autonomy in human resource management. Second, the merit system on state-apparatus’ human resource management was absent. Elected officials had excessive power to intervene the appointment of local/state officials. Third, campaign finance disclosure regulation had significant flaws. Fourth, adequate penalties for asset disclosure regulation violence were either absent or ineffective. Fifth, the regulation on private-to-private corruption, that is written in the UNCAC provisions, was also absent.
