The General Election Commission (KPU) of East Jakarta and South Tangerang conducted a benchmarking visit to the KPU of Tangerang City in Banten. The primary focus of this exchange was the development of Integrity Zones, aiming to achieve the status of Corruption-Free Areas (Wilayah Bebas dari Korupsi - WBK) and Clean and Serving Bureaucracy (Wilayah Birokrasi Bersih dan Melayani - WBBM).
According to Fandu Dwiadma Oktavirawan, Secretary of KPU Kota Tangerang, the visit served as a platform for sharing experiences and best practices among different work units. The goal is to strengthen professional and integrity-based institutional governance. "Through this visit, we can share experiences and innovations developed by each work unit," Fandu stated.
During the visit, participants were given a tour of the 'Lorong Pemilu' (Election Hall). This facility is designed as an electoral education resource by KPU Kota Tangerang, providing accessible information and education about elections to the public. The hall offers insights into the history of elections in Indonesia, Tangerang City's electoral history, and various public information services and innovations offered by the KPU.
Through this visit, we can share experiences and innovations that have been developed by each work unit.
Fandu emphasized that the development of Integrity Zones is not solely an administrative exercise. It must be accompanied by improvements in public service quality and transparency. "Through the various innovations we present, including the Election Hall, we hope to strengthen a work culture that is based on integrity, transparency, and public service orientation," he added.
The visit also aimed to strengthen synergy among election organizing institutions, which is crucial for sustainable bureaucratic reform. Fandu expressed hope that this benchmarking activity would reinforce the collective commitment of all KPU staff towards achieving accountable, transparent, and optimal public service.
