s an attempt to prevent corrupt practices from taking place at the Jakarta administration, it is cooperating with the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to further implement the electronic system for planning and budgeting.
With the collaboration, the KPK will assist the administration in implementing the electronic system, which has been implemented since 2015. The system is called e-budgeting and e-musrenbang (electronic system for Regional Development Planning Forums), that makes information transparent to the public.
“The public need transparency when it comes to the budget, so the move to implement an electronic system is highly appreciated,” KPK deputy chair Basaria Panjaitan said on the sidelines during the signing of the cooperation agreement between the administration and KPK on the prevention of corruption on Wednesday.
The electronic system of budgeting and planning is claimed to be effective in putting a stop to corruption as only selected officials can access it.
