Indonesia’s Anti-Corruption Tiger

Indonesia’s anti-corruption tiger

In 2002, Indonesia created the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to tackle widespread high-level corruption following the fall of Suharto’s regime. Despite public skepticism, the KPK built a strong, ethical, and effective structure with advanced technology and skilled investigators.

The commission launched investigations that led to the conviction of many high-level officials, achieving a 100% conviction rate. By 2007, the KPK had gained solid public support and established itself as a powerful force against corruption.
