Model Jaringan Komunikasi Berantas Korupsi

Abstract

Corruption is considered a common thing in Indonesia and eventually corruption becomes part of the way of life. Such as the three corruption cases that ensnared three Bengkulu governors. Like a relay, three governors were arrested for committing corruption. Such is the prevalence of corruption (tipikor) in Indonesia that people do not realise that the real victims are the people. And we always assume that the problem of corruption is the responsibility of the government. Such a statement is not true. Instead, the community should play an important role when we all get involved in efforts to prevent and eradicate corruption. The author assumes that the process of eradicating corruption in Indonesia does not only rely on the government alone if we really want to eradicate corruption, but must be sustainable between governments which must be proven by strong leadership in eradicating corruption accompanied by a blueprint and systematic steps. The importance of this research is that the problems and cases of corruption that have not been revealed to the surface, so that the presence of the findings of the corruption eradication communication network model in this study will immediately reveal cases that have so far been an iceberg phenomenon. The purpose of this research is to create a communication network model designed for a corruption-free Indonesia. This research was conducted using the triangulation method. In the initial stage, a documentation study was conducted to trace the map of existing problems so far.  Such documentation and literature include articles published in scientific journals, studies on corruption both published and unpublished, KPK annual reports, studies of independent institutions, laws, and so on. Second, Focus Group Discussion (FGD). In this research, FGDs are used as a data collection tool. FGDs are conducted by inviting various experts, observers, activists, academics, practitioners, and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in the field of corruption. Third, in-depth interviews were conducted to explore various issues in the world of corruption, including village officials, opinion leaders, local governments, city governments, and representatives of regulators. Fourth, the normative juridical method is carried out through literature studies that examine (mainly) secondary data in the form of laws and regulations and others. The activity that the author proposes in the eradication of corruption is for the government to immediately form small commissions that are directly related to the prevention and eradication of corruption, a kind of extension of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) which will be placed in every bureaucracy and society. Of course, they are selected people from the KPK who are tasked with supervising all activities in the bureaucracy and also the community to provide information about corruption in each bureaucracy to the Central KPK. However, there needs to be protection from the KPK for those selected in carrying out their respective duties. The government should provide legal protection, such as a whistleblower protection law. Thus, the public will participate in helping the KPK in eradicating corruption in our homeland.
