The Finance
Ministry, which is responsible for thousands of trillions rupiah in state
funds, launched a new whistle-blowing system on Wednesday to aid the fight
against corruption.
The system,
called WISE, is open to the public, including ministry officials, to report any
misdemeanors or unlawful actions by Finance Ministry officials through website www.wise.depkeu.go.id.
“Those who
want to lodge a report have no need to worry. We will protect the identity of
those making reports,” ministry inspector general Sonny Loho said at the launch
of the new system at the Finance Ministry in Jakarta.
Finance
Minister Agus Martowardojo said if reports proved to be true, consequences
would vary from sanctions to investigation by law enforcers.
So far this
year, the ministry has given disciplinary sanctions to 434 officials, compared
with 890 officials throughout last year.
The Finance
Ministry oversees 12 offices, including tax, customs and excise, debt management,
capital market and financial institutions, treasury, budget, state assets,
fiscal policy and fiscal balance.
