Abstract

Despite the growing presence of digital governance in Indonesia's public procurement system, corruption remains widespread. This study critically examines the limits of electronic procurement (e-procurement) as an anti-corruption instrument, with a focus on procurement processes in East Java Province. This study uses secondary data from the Corruption Eradication Commission's (KPK) Corruption Prevention Integrity Survey (SPI), as well as qualitative insights from focus group discussions (FGDs), in-depth interviews, and direct observations, to demonstrate that digitalization alone does not eliminate procurement corruption. The findings highlight pseudo transparency, in which procurement players exploit regulatory gaps notwithstanding electronic surveillance. Corruption is most frequent in areas with large procurement expenditures, inadequate supervision, and minimal public watchdog participation. The continued presence of favoritism, collusion, and selective vendor nominations, demonstrates that e-procurement may improve procedural transparency but fails to address underlying structural concerns. The study emphasizes the importance of independent supervision systems and leadership commitment to enhancing procurement integrity. By highlighting existing weaknesses in digital procurement systems, this study contributes to policy discussion about increasing governance integrity. It advocates for a resilient anti-corruption ecosystem that includes institutional reforms, increased enforcement, and civil society engagement, in addition to technology solutions.

Abstract

This study maps corruption trends in Indonesia during President Joko Widodo’s administration (2014–2024) using a systematic mixed studies review (SMSR) with a Parallel-results Convergent Synthesis Design. By integrating a systematic literature review (SLR) and focus group discussions (FGDs), this research uncovers the entrenched structural, political, and bureaucratic mechanisms that sustain corrupt practices. Corruption in Indonesia is not merely a legal violation but a systemic issue deeply embedded in governance structures, oligarchic influence, and patronage politics. Key drivers include weak democratic institutions, ineffective law enforcement, high political costs, and transactional politics in public office appointments. The study highlights how corruption persisted under Jokowi’s administration through the 2019 revision of the KPK Law, regulatory capture by political elites, and law enforcement intervention in procurement processes. Additionally, media and civil society organizations, which should serve as independent watchdogs, have often been co-opted by political and economic interests, undermining their role in anti-corruption efforts. The findings emphasize that eradicating corruption requires comprehensive institutional reforms, integrity-driven leadership, and fundamental cultural shifts toward transparency and accountability. A multidimensional strategy engaging political institutions, civil society, and oversight agencies is essential to breaking entrenched corruption networks. This study contributes to the broader discourse on governance by offering a framework for future research and policy reforms aimed at strengthening anti-corruption mechanisms in Indonesia.
