President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) highlighted the government's continued efforts to reform public service and licensing sectors to lower the possibility of corruption.

Reforming sectors related to public interests, including the micro, small, and medium business sector, will be high on the list of the government's priorities, the head of state noted at a virtual function marking World Anti-Corruption Day 2020 from the State Palace here on Wednesday.

"Sectors directly related to the interests of people at large, sectors influencing the business ecosystem, particularly micro, small, and medium businesses, became the center of the government's attention," he affirmed.

The government will continue to structurally reform the sectors on a large scale. To this end, it will simplify overlapping and complicated regulations and bureaucracy, he noted.

"This will be supported by the application of digital technology, such as e-budgeting, e-procurement, e-audit, and other applications," he remarked.

System improvement necessitates effective internal and external supervision involving non-government institutions and public participation, he stated.

"The professionalism of law enforcement apparatuses plays a central role in taking action against and preventing (corruption)," he affirmed. (Antaranews)
