Challenging Young People To Create Daman And Clean Politics
Poros Nasional. Election participants' commitment to eradicating corruption will always be in the spotlight of prospective voters. The simplest example can be seen from the questions related to corruption that went to the editor of IDN Times through the #Millennials Selecting platform.
"From the beginning our nation has been very difficult to give up the practice of KKN (Corruption, Collusion and Nepotism). Will the leaders who will be elected be able to eliminate it or at least statistically in the coming years the practice will begin to decline?" asked Fajri Setiawan.
Or for example a question from Reduan Panyu Baday. "How do presidential candidates respond to corruption cases which are referred to as Indonesian culture?" This shows that there are actually still young people who care about the fight against corruption.
The great homework that awaits is how that concern does not turn into total apathy because of the slow pace of change.
1. Indonesia is ranked 96th out of 180 countries
Corruption in Indonesia is already in alarming conditions. According to the corruption perception index released by Transparency International, Indonesia was ranked 96 in 180 countries in the world in 2017. From 0-100, Indonesia gets a score of 37 where 0 means it has a very corrupt status and 100 is very clean.
The score did not change from the previous year. In other words, according to experts and business people who are trusted to provide assessments, this country makes very little progress in combating corruption compared to the past.
2. Communities are increasingly permissive to corrupt behavior
The practice of corruption does not occur suddenly. This has been around for years, even reaching its peak when Indonesia was in authoritarianism for more than three decades. The longer the community is not too surprised if the public sector is often tinged with illegal practices where officials are willing to accept bribes or even extortion.
The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) survey of 10,000 respondents from 34 provinces in Indonesia found that the anti-corruption behavior index of the community in 2018 was 3.66. In fact, the index a year earlier was 3.71. As the number five approaches, the Indonesian people are increasingly permissive to corrupt behavior.
3. Corruption becomes endemic in all domains

When returning to the results of a report released by Transparency International, the three main branches in the democratic system in Indonesia — the legislature, executive and judiciary — have been deeply polluted with a variety of corrupt behavior. The bribery index in this country is classified as very bad and not only at the top level.
The survey stated that 32 percent of respondents claimed to bribe public officials to get convenience in administering the National Identity Card (KTP) or Family Card (KK). This is supported by the results of the BPS survey where giving and receiving bribes when receiving Civil Servants (PNS) or students is normal. Tragically, high school students turn out to be the most permissive of corrupt behavior.
4. People who are given trust by the people do not give a good example

Meanwhile, the anti-bribery organization TRACE International considers that Indonesia has an excellent anti-bribery law. The problem is that law enforcement officials are still considered to be not maximal. Lack of government transparency in carrying out a number of functions is also seen as an obstacle.
What's worse is that according to a Global Corruption Barometer (GCB) survey in 2017, the majority of the domestic public saw the DPR as the most corrupt institution. That is, political parties and politicians themselves also get negative scores. David Sepriwasa, KPK's Political Task Force of Dikyanmas, said there were "35 percent of political figures who were arrested" by his agency. That number increased five percent compared to 2017.
5. The wrong party recruitment and cadre process correlates with mentally corrupt
Anyone who wants to be chosen by the community to occupy a certain position must bear the burden of being transparent. However, what happens if their process to be elected turns out to be the opposite? This is believed to be one of the sources of the problem of widespread corruption among the stakeholders.
KPK Deputy Chair Laode Muhammad Syarif said the lack of transparency in the recruitment process and the poor internal cadre regeneration led to corruption. He gave an example of how only people with large resources could become party cadres, even given strategic positions. "Later they feel they have to return capital when they are in power," he said.
6. Political parties have a responsibility to improve themselves
The dominance of young voters in the 2019 presidential election will give birth to a wave that drives z and generations
