Cash Bribes Now Preferred

Cash Bribes Now Preferred


KOMPAS.com — The president for the Indonesian Association of Forwarders, Logistics and Expedition Service Providers, Iskandar Zulkarnain, admits that corruption in the service sector lately has been changing. He observed that now the corruption and bribery are more organized.

"Overall, the corruption in the service industry is changing its methods. It used to be chaotic, but now its organized," claimed Iskandar, who is also a member of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce, Wednesday, at Graha Niaga Building, Jakarta.

He stated that corruption is more structured now. For example, bribing is now longer through bank transfers, but by hard cash.

"This is fact. Because transfers might be detected by the Financial Transaction Analysis and Report Center. Now, the money is put in a carton box or they do the transaction in an elevator."

Even so, he admits that the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is giving off the right deterrent effect on corruptors. Business people are also more careful in their conducts. For the last few years, the KPK has been doing its job quite well and arresting many corruptors.

"Since the KPK is here, people are more careful. They (businessmen) are deterred. Especially since since the arrest of Iqbal (Commission for the Supervision of Business Competition chief M. Iqbal) and Ayin (Arthalita Suryani), everyone is more wary. Ayin was caught, and around the same time Iqbal too."
