Building anti-corruption movement starting from home 16th February 2021
Illustration. ANTARA/HO Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Transparency International s chapter in Indonesia, an anti-corruption NGO, announced a drop in the country s score of the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) for the year of 2020.
Indonesia s CPI slipped three points, from 40 in 2019 to 37 in 2020, within the scale of 0 to 100, wherein 0 equates to extremely corrupt and 100 for extremely clean.
The drop in the CPI score subsequently led to Indonesia s free fall from the 85th to 102nd position in the rank, out of the total of 180 countries included in the survey.
The word “corruption” has perhaps become all too familiar, even jaded, among most Indonesians. Even at home, all information on corruption continues to be observed through television, radio, and also gadgets.

It’s that Trump’s particular form of crookedness was exactly the kind of crookedness that people have in mind when they imagine Washington, D.C., as a “swamp.”
Trump’s first Manhattan real-estate deal the first deal on which his employer-father allowed him to take the lead was the redevelopment of a bankrupt historic hotel near New York’s Grand Central Terminal. The deal needed complex permissions from the city and the state. To obtain those permissions, Trump hired the famous fixer Roy Cohn. Cohn secured him a $400 million tax abatement plus other special favors, including a waiver of all urban-preservation rules. After the deal was done, the city official who bestowed the favors was hired as a partner in Cohn’s law firm. A decade later, that offic

traditional idea of bribery, corruption crimes and extortion. we know the president can t be indicted while he s in office. i m very curious on this. we have this reporting i believe from the new york times just a couple days ago saying that the president has had other conversations that have been put in that secret computer server with the saudi royal family and with vladimir putin. based on the whole impeachment inquiry, could the congressional leaders get their hands on that stuff? it s difficult to say because the president has the power to classify things including within that power arguably is the power to put it in any box that they want. but we also know from history that congress has very broad subpoena power. we learned that when the nixon administration resisted turning over documents. congress can make the request and battle it out in court. the challenge there is that
