How the KPK Fits into Procurement Corruption

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is the body that investigates and prosecutes major corruption, and procurement has repeatedly ranked among its largest case sources — a pattern IPW has cited for years.

Both, IPW argues, are needed for procurement to become genuinely cleaner.
