Based on survey results and a report from Transparency International, Indonesia did not show a significant increase in the corruption perception index. Efforts to eradicate corruption are generally still hampered by high levels of corruption in the law and political sector. In response to this, the government made various efforts, including through applying sanctions to revoke political rights against convicted of Corruption cases. On the one hand, the revocation of political rights is expected to be able to provide a sense of justice and cause a deterrent effect for corruptors.
