| West Kalimantan Holds SPI 2025 Coordination Meeting, Reinforces Anti-Corruption Commitment. |
Pontianak, July 28, 2025 – The West Kalimantan Provincial Government reaffirmed its strong commitment to clean and transparent governance by officially launching the Coordination Meeting on Optimizing the Integrity Assessment Survey (SPI) 2025. The meeting was opened by the Provincial Secretary, dr. Harisson, M.Kes., at the Adhyasta Utama Hall, Inspectorate Office of West Kalimantan.
The Integrity Assessment Survey (SPI) is a vital instrument developed by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to measure integrity and identify corruption risks across government institutions. It applies not only at the provincial level but also at the city and district levels throughout Indonesia.
In his opening remarks, Harisson explained that SPI is part of KPK's coordinative role with government institutions in the fight against corruption and in improving public service quality.
“SPI provides not just assessments, but also recommendations for improving integrity and preventing corruption,” said Harisson.
Harisson outlined that KPK collects responses from three respondent groups to ensure a comprehensive risk assessment:
-
Internal respondents (government employees),
-
External respondents (public service users),
-
Experts (independent observers and analysts).
The combination of these perspectives helps build a well-rounded picture of each institution’s integrity.
According to Harisson, SPI results in West Kalimantan in recent years have generally fallen under the “alert to maintained” category. However, many of the province’s 2024 results were still categorized as “vulnerable.”
He stressed that this wasn't solely due to poor performance, but rather the result of high correction factors applied during the final assessment process, which significantly reduced the overall scores.
“Despite our efforts to maintain integrity in governance, high correction factors have dragged down our final scores,” he emphasized.
Poor SPI scores can affect public trust in local governments. This remains a serious concern, as public perception of integrity among officials is critical for successful service delivery and development.
“It is our duty to continuously nurture integrity within all government units through various programs and initiatives,” Harisson added.
Harisson expressed hope that future SPI assessments would be more objective and constructive, and not overly impacted by correction values. This would ensure the results accurately reflect the efforts of local governments and serve as a better foundation for sustainable system improvements.
“We want SPI to not only be a rating tool, but also a guide for concrete improvements,” he concluded.
The event was attended by:
-
The KPK SPI Team,
-
Regional Secretaries of cities and districts across West Kalimantan or their representatives,
-
The Inspector of West Kalimantan and team,
-
Heads of relevant local government agencies.
The SPI 2025 Coordination Meeting, led by Provincial Secretary dr. Harisson, clearly illustrates the West Kalimantan Government’s commitment to clean and corruption-free governance. SPI continues to serve as a strategic tool by the KPK to identify corruption risks and push for integrity improvements across public institutions. While correction factors remain a challenge, Harisson hopes the SPI will evolve into a more accurate and helpful instrument to rebuild public trust and improve transparency in West Kalimantan’s public administration.
