The Model of Public Official Dismissal to Eradicate Corruption in Indonesia
Abstract: The problem of
corruption in Indonesia is related to the opportunities of public officials to
abuse the authority in their own scope of position. In Indonesia, this
condition exists at every level of public administration and public position.
In order to reduce abusive and corruptive behavior, Parliament (DPR) and
President through legislation have made some standard procedures to temporarily
remove public officials accused of having committed corruption. But in many
cases, practically, this problem amounts some legal difficulties. One of which
is related to the constitutionality of the dismissal norm. In legal culture
perspective, resigning temporarily when being accused for doing a shameful
behavior is not a popular option; this is because of the presumption of
innocent principles’ requirement of the legal basis in criminal law. This
article tried to analyse some parts of these problems.
