Elementary school students play KPK investigators

Elementary school students played investigator at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and successfully confiscated corrupt officials assets in a role-play in an event held by the anticorruption body Wednesday to observe International Anti-Corruption day. 

Around 20 students from SD BPK Penabur 9 gathered in several groups at KPK’s parking lot which was converted into an array of booths called the “Anti-Corruption Kampong”, trying to solve an investigation puzzle similar to a real KPK investigation. 

Wearing grayish KPK vests, they searched the cars around the parking lot for corrupt assets and asked people at the booths, looking for clues. Later, they found and confiscated the assets. 

The game was a part of two-day event from Dec. 8 to 9. There will also be a mural-on-canvas exhibition, storytelling and a music performance. 

Anti-corruption groups, including the Indonesian Corruption Watch (ICW),  Transparency International Indonesia (TII), the Center for Legal and Policy Studies (PSHK), the Judicial Commission, as well as the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime (UNODC) also participate in the event. (ipa)
