Jakarta –
KPK gave awards to 3 figures for their honesty in rejecting the reward. What is the story of the three people like?
The award was presented by KPK Vice President Lili Pintauli Siregar to 3 people on behalf of Wahyu Listyantara, Budi Ali Hidayat and Apriansyah. They are considered good role models in the prevention and eradication of corruption.
“Hopefully in the future more and more people will have the courage and strong will to say no with satisfaction,” Lili said in her remarks at the KPK broadcast on KPK’s YouTube channel on Tuesday (8/12/2020) .
At the same place, KPK Prevention Deputy Pahala Nainggolan explained what the three men had done. The first is Apriansyah, who currently serves as Head of Tourism, Youth and Sports (Disparpora) Mukomuko Regency, Bengkulu.
“The Head of the Office, greetings to the Regent, conveyed that the KPK expressed its appreciation that Mukomuko Regency is fortunate to have a head of office who is very firm and understands exactly what a conflict of interest is,” Pahala said.
Pahala said that when Apriansyah served as Chief of the Public Works and Land Management Service (PUPR), there was a contractor who suddenly paved the road in front of his house. Knowing this, Apriansyah also paid for the cost of the asphalt.
“The head of the office knows for sure that if the contractor gives something, it is impossible to have a free lunch. Therefore, with his own conscience, after the street in front of his house is paved, the head of the service pays the asphalt instead. We thought, don’t look at the amount, but I really think so. “That’s a great example individually because no one really knows, but the head of the department deliberately asked you to replace the pavement in front of his house.” Pahala said.
The second is Wahyu Listyantara, a retired member of the Police Mobile Brigade who is currently working as a Junior Manager for Train Escort Security at PT KCI (Indonesian Commuter Train). In no uncertain terms, Wahyu is said to have rejected a check for 100 million rupees.
“It’s lucky that KCI has like Pak Wahyu. Again, if you’re smart you can teach it, but if you’re honest it’s hard,” Pahala said.
“Pak Wahyu has shown by disbursing the check that he gave 100 million and reported it to the KPK. Pak Wahyu knows for sure that if a report is like that, Pak Syarief (Syarief Hidayat / KPK Gratification Director) belongs to the state. So thank you Pak Wahyu remember sir, later I’m sorry hehehe but we already read the details, sir ”, he added.
Finally, Budi Ali Hidayat, who works as the intermediate leader or head of KUA, Central District of Cimahi. Budi is said to have informed the KPK more than 80 times regarding tips.
“So if you call the prince of marriage you will surely pay, it is a common habit, nobody asks whether to pay or not, only if you do not pay is strange. We felt at that moment that it was not true, so do not get used to the wrong thing, Therefore, there is a KPK circular that states that former officials who are paid by the state with public taxes and marry must use the pengulu, the government is asking for it, so if people ask for services, they are not he can charge more than they should, unless we say at the time, if he comes, but the KUA office is part of his duties, ”said Pahala.
“Pak Budi consistently, because the principle does not waver, he reported up to 84 (times) to the KPK because he believed it was not what he had to accept. So again, we don’t see the amount, but we say that these are people who defend the principle of that the state pays me to serve the community, “he added.
According to Pahala, those people should be examples. Each year, KPK also plans to bring these people of high integrity to the surface to be an inspiration to others.
“I think this is a new tradition that we will create every year before Anti-Corruption Day, we will choose people, again not the number, but their ability to motivate other people,” Pahala said.
