This study critically examines the implementation of Article 20 of Law No. 31/1999, as amended by Law No. 20/2001, concerning the eradication of corruption (UU Tipikor), with a focus on corporate accountability in corruption offenses. It aims to address three primary concerns: (1) the practical application of corporate liability mechanisms, (2) the effectiveness of sanctions imposed on corporations, and (3) the legal obstacles that impede the full enforcement of corporate criminal responsibility. Employing a normative legal approach, this research integrates statutory analysis, case law evaluation, and theoretical exploration. The findings highlight considerable challenges in proving corporate liability, as well as the limited scope and effectiveness of current penalties. These difficulties stem from ambiguities in distinguishing between the responsibilities of individuals and the corporation, and the lack of consistent legal interpretation by law enforcement authorities. The study proposes a set of recommendations, including the formulation of clear technical guidelines, the continuous professional development of legal practitioners, the enhancement of sanctions against corporations, and the establishment of a centralized database of judicial decisions involving corporate criminal liability. These measures are essential to ensure more effective corporate accountability and the prevention of systemic corruption in Indonesia.

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) plays a crucial role in combating corruption in Indonesia. This institution was established to address various corruption cases involving public officials, with the aim of increasing transparency, accountability, and justice in government administration. However, KPK faces numerous challenges in carrying out its duties, such as revisions to laws that limit its authority and obstacles in coordination with other law enforcement agencies. The factors causing corruption in Indonesia are complex, including weak oversight, a permissive culture towards corruption, and lack of transparency in state budget management. KPK not only focuses on taking action against corruption perpetrators but also strives to recover state losses through asset confiscation mechanisms. Despite this, KPK's effectiveness in combating corruption is often hindered by both internal and external challenges. Therefore, it is important to continuously strengthen coordination among law enforcement agencies and encourage legal reforms to enhance this institution.

The declaration by President Muhammadu Buhari that he is willing to reduce the rising expenses of managing public affairs is a major surprise. Newspapers everywhere have stated that he will face the confront the problem head-on by reforming numerous government agencies, merging others, and dismantling others. We are still figuring out the specifics. The only information that has been made public thus far is that the plan's first casualties will be the Universal Tertiary Matriculation Examination, the National Examinations Council, and the National Poverty Eradication Programme. It is evident from the announced strategy that the president and his officials either do not understand the seriousness of the issue or are once again manipulating a terrible sickness that is plaguing the nation. In what way would eliminating NECO and instructing WAEC to take on the personnel reduce costs? Or how would renaming NAPP contribute to improving governance value? How does he make sure that each and every Kobo that goes into counted national treasuries? What steps is he taking to guarantee that public policy is geared toward reducing people's suffering? The cost of governance during Jonathan's administration is examined in this study. It examines the cost of government from a thematic perspective, emphasizing its main points with specific examples. According to the paper's conclusion, the so-called clause of "senior ministers and junior or ministers of state" has led to the current unhealthy rivalry and widespread bitterness, but it has also resulted in needless waste of public funds in the payment of entitlements due to over-bloated administrative costs.

That aspect of law enforcement in eradicating criminal acts of corruption requires the role of all parties involved in achieving the target of eradicating corruption that is rampant in Indonesia, there are four factors causing corruption; political and legal factors, historical factors, social factors and cultural factors, and economic factors. Concrete solutions in eradicating corruption are needed by Indonesia to redesign public services, strengthen transparency, supervision and sanctions against government activities related to the economy and human resources, increase the empowerment of supporting instruments in preventing corruption and to ensure that law enforcement is free from corruption. The strategy to eradicate corruption must be built with the will of all parties who want to eradicate corruption itself, by not giving the slightest tolerance in the act of corruption itself. In realizing an effort to eradicate corruption itself, it requires determination in meeting the prerequisites in terms of existence driven by political ability and will and a strong commitment from all parties, transparent and accountable in its implementation, available and balanced resources and capacity.

Indonesia's democracy, despite over two decades of progress since the fall of the New Order regime, has faced stagnation and democratic backsliding in recent years. Indicators from institutions such as the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), Freedom House, and Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) consistently highlight a decline in democratic quality. Contributing factors include identity politics, declining electoral integrity, political dynasties, and weak institutional capacities, described as "Low-Capacity Democracy." This study employs a qualitative approach to explore these challenges, including literature reviews, document analysis, and interviews. The findings reveal systemic issues at both institutional and societal levels, including weakened oversight bodies like the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), the dominance of executive power, and the rise of transactional politics and political dynasties. Digital challenges, such as disinformation and low digital literacy, also exacerbate these issues. This study recommends comprehensive reforms, such as strengthening independent institutions, enhancing transparency in public fund management, and improving political education to reduce transactional practices. Digital media regulations and technology-based electoral monitoring are also proposed to increase transparency. By addressing these issues, Indonesia can reinforce democratic resilience and foster an inclusive, accountable political system.
