Residents of Bandung City Ready to Beat the "Dawn Attack"

This activity was attended by more than 200 residents of the city of Bandung. Acting Mayor of Bandung, Ema Sumarna said, the KPK Bus Roadshow was an effort by the KPK to explore the country to build an anti-corruption movement.

"The city of Bandung was given an extraordinary opportunity to obtain fresh information regarding anti-corruption. We must welcome this effort and support it as much as possible for what is the KPK's goal," said Ema.

He said the Bandung City Government was committed to developing the City of Bandung in accordance with the agreed RPJMD. Even though the journey is still long and the process continues, each internally, starting from staff to government leaders, is trying to prevent corruption in stages.

"Especially in an era that is completely open and transparent, the public can see how far we have progressed. Hopefully the system we have built will make it easier for the public to get the services they need," he said.

Therefore, the Bandung City Government continues to intensify the convenience of public services through various applications that are integrated in "Sadayana".

He hopes that the presence of this application can minimize direct meetings between the public and service providers. So that it can minimize acts of corruption.

"We have presented a number of service applications, of course, with the aim of not causing things to injure what was mandated in our spirit to build an anti-corruption culture," he said.

Moreover, according to him, the values that are carried out by the KPK are in line with the values that are upheld by ASN, namely having morals.

"I think this is very in line with Moral values. We will boom it at the Bandung City Government so that this becomes a renewable culture at all levels of ASN, starting from the sub-district, sub-district, agency, agency, department and parts of it," he said.

Not only at the government level, anti-corruption values must also be educated from an early age starting from early childhood, elementary to junior high schools. This education continues to be carried out by the Bandung City Government.

"We give the Education Office the responsibility to provide guidance so that the values of honesty have been built from the start, from the ages where the characteristics must be formed. So that later it will become the quality of human resources that are competitive and especially have values that are honesty, independence. and responsibility," he added.

Meanwhile, a resident from Andir District, Nevi, admitted that he had come with 12 of his colleagues to listen to socialization instructions and enliven the event.

"God willing, if there is counseling like this, people who didn't know before will be open. It turns out that the 'dawn attack' is like that. What's more, the KPK has explained it in so much detail," said Nevi.

He admitted that in the neighborhood around his house there had never been a case of the 'dawn attack' before the general election.

"In Andir, no one is handing out clear election envelopes. The hope is that the city of Bandung will be more advanced and hold activities like this. Apart from being able to socialize together, we can also exercise together," he said.

Talking about the dawn attacks, the Deputy for Education and Community Participation, the Corruption Eradication Commission of the Republic of Indonesia, Wawan Wardiana explained, ahead of the 2024 elections, there will be more and more dawn attacks.

"Therefore, we echo the motto: Hajar Serangan Fajar. This is one of the six tasks of the Corruption Eradication Commission, which is to prevent acts of corruption from occurring. Today's efforts are taking action through outreach and campaigns," explained Wawan.

He explained, there are three approaches to corruption eradication strategies, namely arrest, prevention, and education.

"Prevention is by improving the system. Such as the efforts of the Bandung City Government through providing applications so that there are no face-to-face meetings to prevent people from meeting with service providers. This is an effort to avoid transactions," he explained.

In the KPK Bus Roadshow, nine values were instilled, which is shortened to "Friday Cycling KK". These values include: honest, independent, responsible, brave, simple, caring, disciplined, fair and hard working

"These values are instilled from the common people to the upper middle class. We instill all these values in various ways. Our hope is that in the future the city of Bandung will become the Bandung City of Anti-Corruption," he hoped.

He also emphasized to the people of Bandung City not to accept any money or goods from illicit campaigns ahead of the 2024 election.

"If someone gives you money, you have to refuse it! Whatever form it is, refuse!" said Wan. (din)**
