Eliminating Corruption Becomes One of Jokow’s Indicators of Failure or Success in Leading RI

Merdeka.com – Professor Azyumardi Azra, Professor of UIN Syarif Hidayatullah, emphasized that now was not the time to draw conclusions about the performance of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). Including an assessment of whether Jokowi failed to lead Indonesia or whether he succeeded.

“We have to wait another 2.5 or 3 years. After President Jokowi and KH Ma’ruf Amin to the end of the second season, “he said in a virtual discussion from JIB Post on” Is it true that Jokowi has not led Indonesia? “, on Monday (26/7).

A number of indicators can now be made that Jokow needs to improve over the remainder of his term. If left unaddressed, Jokowi can leave a negative legacy.

One of the points he raised was related to destruction corruption which did not function optimally under Jokow. The eradication of corruption, he said, is the creation of good governance.

One example of the optimal eradication of corruption, namely the stumbling of two Jokowi ministers in corruption cases. According to him, Jokowi did not give a strong statement on the case that captured two of his subjects.

“We only normatively say that we leave it to the law to take action against them. I think there are signs that are worrying. What could make President Jokow leave a positive legacy to eradicate corruption,” he explained.

Then the KPK continued to deteriorate. Finally, the public was shocked by the National Vision Test (TWK), which led to the dismissal of some KPK employees. This issue needs to be addressed immediately so that Jokowi can leave a good legacy to eradicate corruption.

“If the President allows the KPK’s unrest over the TWK to continue, I think he may have time to end to improve the KPK and revive the eradication of corruption. jokowi leading Indonesia towards good governance, “he said. [ded]
