Jakarta – Minister of Law Supratman Andi Agtas introduced two key strategies to prevent corruption within the Ministry of Law: digitalization of public services and the implementation of a merit-based human resource system. Both initiatives align with the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) concept known as the Trisula of Anti-Corruption, which emphasizes balance between enforcement, prevention, and education.
"Since I took office, I have said there are two things we must focus on to fight corruption. The first is fixing the system through digitalization. If we want better governance, there is no other option but to go digital," Supratman said during the What's Up Kemenkum RI podcast, aired on the Ministry's official YouTube channel on Friday (November 7, 2025).
The digitalization project will lead to the creation of a transparent super app, designed based on the architecture of an electronic-based government system. Expected to launch by December 2025 or early January 2026, the super app will integrate all Ministry of Law services online—from registration to final output.
"Everything will be transparent, as part of our effort to prevent irregularities and improve the system. The second strategy is the merit system, which we hope will strengthen integrity over time," Supratman said at the Ministry of Law's Podcast Studio.
The merit system ensures fair and competency-based career development for civil servants. Career advancement will be determined by performance and ability, rather than favoritism or personal connections.
In addition to these two strategies, Supratman also emphasized the importance of regulatory reform as a supporting instrument.
"Our regulations are actually quite solid. The challenge lies in implementation, which depends on commitment. There are areas for improvement, of course. Still, by focusing on these two main strategies, we can build integrity and accountability," he said.
In this podcast episode, Minister Supratman was joined by the Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), Setyo Budiyanto, who highlighted the strong collaboration between the KPK and the Ministry of Law as a real example of synergy in the fight against corruption.
"Public participation and the involvement of all institutions, including government, are essential—particularly in prevention efforts. Through our memorandum of understanding, there are many areas where we can collaborate," Setyo said.
The partnership between the Ministry of Law and the KPK includes data and information sharing, capacity-building for human resources, strengthening regulations and legal instruments, and extradition efforts.
"This cooperation also involves aligning our internal regulations with those of the Ministry of Law. The goal is to strengthen prevention and education efforts so that issues can be anticipated early, reducing the need for enforcement," Setyo added.
The What's Up Kemenkum RI Podcast airs every Friday to provide the public with information and education about the Ministry's public services. The podcast can be accessed through the Ministry's official social media platforms.
