T
he Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) warned six provinces on Thursday over their poor budget management, which shows signs of corruption.
KPK deputy for prevention Pahala Nainggolan said that the provinces'North Sumatra, Papua, West Papua, Riau, Banten and Aceh'should improve their monitoring of budget disbursement, especially in procurement projects.
'The KPK is concerned about the six regions. We want to know how the local administrations manage their budgets, including the approval process with local legislative councils and procurement activities,' said Pahala during a meeting with representatives of a number of provinces, as quoted by kompas.com.
He said the antigraft body would help the local administrations prevent corruption by carefully guiding the procurement of goods and services.
'We will inform local administrations of the points of the procurement process that are prone to corruption and we hope we can attend meetings related to the process,' said Pahala.
Besides procurement projects, the KPK will also assist the administrations in managing their salary systems and licensing in the mining and plantation sectors.
