INDONESIA, Jan 30 (Jakarta Post/ANN): After years of sluggish progress, experts and businesspeople believe Indonesia’s anticorruption campaign went backward in 2020 as the nation scored lower in a global graft assessment.
Berlin-based Transparency International had announced that Indonesia had regressed in terms of corruption eradication, as it awarded the country a score of 37 in the 2020 update of its Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI).
The score was three points below the previous year’s CPI score of 40 and marks the first decline since President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo assumed office in 2014.
The latest score places Indonesia above its neighbors of Vietnam and Thailand (36) as well as the Philippines (34) but lower than Timor-Leste (40), Malaysia (51), Brunei Darussalam (60) and Singapore (85).
