Jakarta, (Antara) - President Joko Widodo has called for increased cooperation among law enforcement agencies.
He made the appeal while dedicating the new Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Building here on Wednesday to coincide with the anti-graft body's 12th anniversary.
The president pointed out that egoism among sectors had so far hindered corruption eradication efforts in the country.
He hoped the KPK would improve synergy with the police and the attorney general's office in the fight against corruption in the country.
He emphasized that synergy was needed as strong law enforcement agencies are important to fight corruption.
"We need a strong KPK, police, and attorney general's office. I have observed egoism among sectors that has often hindered the efforts to achieve success in the fight against corruption," he affirmed.
Meanwhile, he remarked that the ultimate objective of all agencies was to fight corruption more effectively.
President Widodo reiterated his support to the KPK leaders and staff to continue to work in line with the mandate given to them through the law.
"The fight against corruption must not stop. I hope the new KPK leadership would immediately begin work in the new building with renewed spirit," he emphasized.(*)
