T
he Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has called on political parties to hold anticorruption training sessions for their members.
The commission said the Democratic Party, which has seen many top leaders jailed for graft, was the first to introduce an antigraft education program for its members, called the Anti-Corruption School.
“The Anti-Corruption School program is very important, as many politicians engage in corruption due to a lack of knowledge about what corruption is,” said the commission’s director for graft prevention, Giri Supradiono, as quoted by Antara news agency on Saturday.
“This should be on the agenda of all political parties,” he added.
The KPK official said the commission was ready to help parties by providing education material for such training.
The Democratic Party has held Anti-Corruption School session in Jakarta, Yogyakarta, West Nusa Tenggara and West Java.
