Why can’t Indonesia solve the problem of corruption? | Indonesia Decides

Corruption is one of Indonesia’s biggest problems and every election, politicians promise they’ll do more to stamp it out. But once they’re elected, nothing much changes. The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has been weakened under President Joko Widodo and the hashtag #percumalaporpolisi has captured ordinary people’s frustration with the police. Reporter Erwin Renaldi speaks to those on the frontlines of the country’s anti-corruption fight about what needs to change to address political and police corruption once and for all.
Featuring: Novel Baswedan, Iftitah Sari, Kurnia Ramadhana & Bivitri Susanti.
