Like illness, corruption has become endemic in the bureaucracy of our country.State system based on democracy was to be one factor giving the opportunity for people to perform acts of corruption. In a democracy, we are led by officials directly elected through a vote.If we examine further, many wouldbe state officials who are not qualified to be a leader.However, because of democracy which decides base on of the most polls and all the people from various academic backgrounds can become candidates, they can be a strong pitch to state officials.How is this country going forward when led by leaders who do not know the science of leadership?This is one that has been being debated in a democratic system and complicates the government in combating corruption in the bureaucracy. As we know in developed countries, law enforcement run because the bureaucracy is based on accomplishments, competitive political institutions, transparent governance and control civil society and mass media are very strong.All this cannot be found in developing countries.The affair between the bureaucracy and businessmen in tenders for government projects is not a new thing that happened in the country of a thousand islands.As a result, have been form a vicious circle of corruption, collusion and nepotism among the bureaucracy of government and entrepreneurs.Allthis kind above can be a clear mirror that reflects the face of our statebureaucracy.

For example, in case of corruption PT.Masaro involving brothers and Anggodo Widjojo Anggoro which until now still be uncertain completion and still rolling on the court that someday justice will speak.Why do the police seem slow to follow up?Should there be reform of our state back on the apparatus?Subandijo Umar, a lecturer of forensic auditors from a university in Jakarta, said “nowadays a lot of police officers who had contracted the "virus fraud."Even many of those who commit acts detrimental to this country in a congregation.From start to the rank of the lowest to the highest star.That is the mirror of bureaucratic corruption in the country of Indonesia.As discussed also by him, that there are 3 components of which pertained fraud.That among other things, fraud, concealment of facts and utilization of results.In the body of police, the above three components of fraud has become an inherent systemic and has formed a black circle that surrounds them.

In the science of forensic auditing, there are 3 kinds of triggering factors of a person doing the fraud, the first, because of the pressure.Like for example, when we find stuff that is not ours.When we faced in such circumstances, our inner will fluctuate.There is encouragement and small promptings of the heart that leads the two options.Do follow our hearts or consciences whisper instead of following the traces of the bad conscience of the corrupt that they have been contaminated and have been sealed by greed.That's why they are the corrupt cannot hear the screams of the people.Factors such as this is the wrong one to be influential and trigger someone to do deviate so forget their innate inner.The second factor is opportunity.In fact a lot of corruption going on in various state or private agencies because of the opportunity.This occurs because of its lack of internal and external control creates an opportunity for someone to become rich themselves.The third factor is the justification.In the soul of a corruptor, actually lodged so deep anxiety of the bad things he has done but there is a justification that rumbled on in their minds to stimulate that 'what I already do not harm people but I just run a task that has been used since'.Three of these factors that complicate the government to curb corruption in the bureaucracy of our country.Since every element of society is infected with a virus that fraud has become commonplace and has been legitimized in the realm of the current era of democracy.Corruption in the bureaucracy is a violation committed by the state.We have the law but it was not optimal to stop the corruption in Indonesia.

If we look at the past, actually fighting corruption has been attempted eradication in 5 periods of the presidency.Various measures have been attempted.Start making laws that are intended specifically for cases of corruption to establish specialized agencies responsible for handling corruption.As best we know it today in dealing with cases of corruption levels are high class KPK.However, why does it go achievements in combating corruption index Indonesian state was still low compared with our neighbouring countries Malaysia (4.5) and Singapore (9.2).As announced by Transparency International, Indonesia is only 0.4 point increase from initially 2.6 to 2.8, with index ranges from 0 (most corrupt) to 10 (the cleanest).From this data we can conclude that, Indonesia is still ranked the big five country who engage in corruption.If in this world there is an Olympic corruption, perhaps Indonesia is one of the countries that qualify for the final round in the competition of corruption.Because, corruption has been ingrained and embedded in the bureaucracy in Indonesia.Starting from state institutions at the central level, local to the area shelter, is suspected of respondents are not free from corruption.In fact, the vortex storm of corruption does occur in various institutions in this equatorial country, even since this country was born."This is one that is not good legacy from our ancestors since the days before the Indonesian independence," said Umar.

Therefore, not only governments that must work extra hard in the eradication of corruption in the bureaucracy, but also every member of society must start from ourselves to not do the slightest act relating to corruption.As according to law, an act of corruption into the law of arrest, if it meets these three basic elements, namely, if the act is against the law in enriching themselves, abusing authority and position, and harm the state.3 elements are criminal acts that close to corruption.For that, let every element of society begin to do good from a small, no matter how small the level of goodness that will blow the wind good for the economy of our country and start from now to do well. Furthemore, the key to curb corruption is the creation of society who work sincerely.
