The Future of the Anti-Corruption and KPK in the Eyes of the Presidential Candidates

Even though the General Elections Commission (KPU) requested input from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to prepare the topics on anticorruption for the presidential debates, the KPK has homed in on the fact that the substance of the debate was not clearly explored. The debate format was relatively rigid and did not delve into the vision and mission, strategies, and genuine solutions from the candidate pairs who are battling over the hearts of the people.

I deliberately penned this article after the first debate round so as not to “disrupt" the debate agenda agreed by the candidates and the KPU.
