Descripción
Given steady progress in the development
of democracy - establishment of effective checks on
arbitrary rulers, replacement of arbitrary rules with just
and honest ones, and, participation of ordinary people in
the making of rules - Indonesia could over time, emerge as a
strong functioning democracy. Yet, continued progress
towards a full-fledged democracy cannot be taken for
granted, precisely because the transition to an elected
government has been a largely peaceful one, indeed allowed
the powerful interests that dominated the New Order-the
former First Family, the military, and the conglomerates-to
continue to operate, and indeed flourish in this new
environment. It is in this context the problem of corruption
in Indonesia must be viewed. This report is an initial
outcome of an ongoing process of rethinking, and learning by
the Bank, on issues of accountability, and corruption in
Indonesia. In the aftermath of the financial crisis, and
related political upheaval, the Bank revisited its entire
strategy towards the country. The report builds on a
comprehensive set of diagnostic assessments, and reviews on
some of the main areas where corruption breeds: public
expenditure and financial management systems, procurement,
inter-governmental fiscal relations, the financial sector,
forestry and infrastructure, the justice sector, and the
civil service. It also attempts to distill from studies the
key lessons learnt about corruption, and accountability,
and, to better understand how corruption works in particular
sectors, and processes. The central issue examined in this
report is why public accountability fails so often, and,
after analyzing the context in which anti-corruption efforts
must operate in Indonesia, the report focuses first on three
areas of corruption: the budget, local governments and the
government's regulatory functions in selected sectors -
banking, electricity and forestry. It then looks at the
justice sector - the police, the prosecutors, the courts and
the Indonesian civil service. Finally, it analyzes how
donors are responding to the challenge of corruption,
drawing primarily on the Bank's own experience.
