This study discusses the fight against corruption through bureaucratic reform. It argues that in addition to criminal action, corruption eradication efforts must also, and more importantly involve bureaucratic reform to ease public services and hold public officials accountable for their actions. Corruption has always been one of the major issues facing not only the Indonesian economy but also every branch of the Indonesian government. Concerned by the devastating impact of corruption on the people of Indonesia along with its economy, Law No. 30/2002 on Corruption was passed which allows for the creation of the Corruption Eradication Commission or Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi. Despite the tremendous success, the work of the commission is often hindered by complex bureaucratic procedures. This is socio-legal research drawing on qualitative data derived from statutes, interviews, and focus group discussions with lawmakers, civil society, and ONGs. The study reveals that bureaucratic reform can boost the fight against corruption because it improves public services and strengthens the actions of the government. The study also shows that bureaucratic reform can help to increase public awareness of corruption and change their attitude accordingly.
