Jakarta Post - February 14, 2013

In collaboration with the Development Finance Comptroller (BPKP), the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has found that irregularities are rampant in government agencies in all the country's 33 provinces.

The joint investigation was to monitor three areas of work: regional budget planning, public services and the procurement of goods and services, said KPK deputy chairman Adnan Pandu Praja. Adnan said the investigation was part of the KPK's preventive measures.

"This serves as an early warning system in corruption prevention. So the KPK does not only fight corruption, but we also fix the system," he told a press conference at the KPK's headquarters in Kuningan, South Jakarta.

BPKP chairman Mardiasmo said that most irregularities were found in the budgeting process, the procurement of low quality goods and in the providing of public services.

The KPK and the BPKP would forward the report from the survey as a recommendation to the government.
