CORRUPTION

Corruption in Indonesia is growing systematically. For many people, corruption is no

longer as a violation of law, but it is just a custom. In Indonesia, corruption happens as if it is a
normal thing to do, especially among officials. Officials seem to have no shame to do disservice
to this country. This creates a question, what the causes of corruption in Indonesia are. At least
there are three causes of corruption that happens in Indonesia.

First, state administration system is erroneously. As new developed country, the

development priorities must be in education. But for decades, started from old order era, the new
order era, until reformation era, the development only focused on the economic field. Whereas,
every country that is newly independent, is still limited in having human resources, money,
management, and technology. So, as a consequence, all of those things are imported from abroad
which in turn it produces the cause of corruption.

Second, civil servants’ compensation is low. Newly independent countries do not have
enough money to pay higher compensation to employees. Moreover Indonesia, which prioritizes
economic and cultural field, makes a pattern of consumerism culturally and physically, so that 90
percent of civil servants do corruption.

Third, officials are greedy. Consumerism lifestyle, was born by the development system,
encourages officials to be rich instantly. This causes the attitude of greed where officials abuse
the authority and his position, as doing mark up to the development projects.

Based on those arguments that show us the causes of corruption, we have to do

preventive actions against corruption. We should build legal regime, the prevention form all
elements that can provide the illumination law and information that are held to the government,
public services, providers of goods n services, and private parties. Say no to corruption and let us
fight against it.
