TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Jakarta Provincial Government kept intensively combating corruption practices in the city governance. After finding cheating actions in vehicle road worthiness test at Kedaung Kali Angke Motor Vehicle Testing Center (PKB), West Jakarta, on Wednesday, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is also expected to uncover cheating practices in the Jakarta Building Control Department and Jakarta Spatial Department.

“Both departments are always getting complaints from the citizens,” stated Acting Jakarta Governor Basuki "Ahok" Tjahaja Purnama on Thursday, as quoted by Antara News.

According to Ahok, KPK findings on illegal levies for KIR test at Kedaung Kali Angke PKB center is not the first time. Previously, KPK have found illegal levies on flat management serving under the Housing and Government Buildings Department, which already followed by Jakarta Inspectorate. Some civil servants involved in the case will be fired.

“We thanked KPK. Previously, Jakarta Provincial Government thought KPK won’t help us. Whereas, this is part of corruption prevention in community services,” he uttered.

Ahok wanted the Jakarta Provincial Government to be a model of good governance for other provinces. Besides Jakarta Building Control Department and Jakarta Spatial Department, other regional working units (SKPD/UKPD) will also be investigated. If misuse of budget was found, it will be reported to the police and the civil servants involved will be fired.

“The Jakarta Building Control Department and Jakarta Spatial Department always give me a headache. Just apprehend all those involved in corruption acts,” he asserted.
