THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE APPLICATION OF LAW NUMBER 20 OF 2001 AGAINST COOKING OIL CORRUPTORS

Abstract

Corruption is internationally recognized as an extraordinary crime. According to a report by Transparency International, Indonesia's Corruption Perception Index (CPI) score will be 34 on a scale of 0-100 in 2022, making Indonesia the 5th most corrupt country in Southeast Asia. In the end, corruption that stems from greed will only cause great harm to the country and its people. Therefore, this study aims to provide information related to the impact of corruption on the life of the nation and state and how the government resolves the cooking oil corruption case. By using normative juridical research methods, the results show that corruption has a significant impact on the quality of people's welfare. To anticipate the occurrence of corruption, the President emphasized that the bureaucratic mechanism must be guided by a good governance system, and prioritize community participation through social change as a preventive measure to increase the number of corruptors in Indonesia.
