Suspect Iswahyu Widodo, a judge of the South Jakarta District Court, wears a detainee jacket after being quizzed by investigators of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in Jakarta on Thursday (29/11/2018). Iswahyu and four other people were apprehended in an operation across South Jakarta. Iswahyu is believed to have accepted bribes in connection with a civil case he was handling.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS - Leadership in the regions is a decisive factor in improving the government’s efforts to minimize the potential for corruption. However, it is not easy to find regional leaders who are committed to eradicating corruption.

The arrests of a number of regional leaders by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) indicate the real condition in the regions. On Wednesday, the KPK again arrested Cianjur Regent Irvan Rivano Muchtar on alleged corruption pertaining to the special allocation of funds at the education agency in Cianjur regency. He became the 27th regional head to be arrested by the KPK this year.
