Jakarta. Anyone who wishes to submit information about corruption allegations to Indonesia’s Corruption Eradication Commission can now do it discreetly using the antigraft agency’s new whistle-blower system.

| A Corruption Eradication Commission's new Web page that allows people to post corruption allegations discreetly. |
“It is an online service on KPK’s Web site which can be accessed by the public to report any information on corruption,” the commission’s deputy chairman M Jasin said at the opening of the National Conference of Corruption Eradication (KNPK) in Jakarta on Wednesday.
The system can also be accessed directly on this address: http://kws.kpk.go.id. It is available in English.
The page allows potential whistle blowers to submit their information discreetly.
It is the fifth such conference held by the commission, also known as the KPK. This year’s theme is “Corruption Eradication Through the Whistle-Blower System Mechanism.”
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who gave a speech after the opening, said he appreciated the efforts made by the KPK to fight corruption in Indonesia.
“The world knows that corruption still happens in Indonesia but the world also knows that Indonesia is carrying out an aggressive anticorruption campaign,” Yudhoyono said.
He also called on state institutions to fight mark-up practices to prevent corruption.
“We have to stage a war against mark-up practices. The state has lost thousands of trillions because of it,” he said.
M Jasin supported Yudhoyono’s statement.
“Based on KPK data, mark-up practices are still the most common modus operandi for corruption,” he said, adding that state institutions should be more transparent in their budget management and spending.
