Both incentives and penalties are expected to prevent bribery, which apparently have remained rampant in the procurement sector. A survey conducted by Kemitraan on entrepreneurs’ integrity in five provinces recently revealed that one in three entrepreneurs had been involved in bribery.
Combating corruption in the procurement sector will only be effective if the government enforces strict and tight regulations, the private sector adopts an internal mechanism to prevent bribery and the public has access to the control mechanism.
Jokowi and Kalla should now translate their commitment to corruption eradication in this country by enacting the much-awaited law on goods and service procurement.
