The local government of Kejati, North Sumatra, has reaffirmed its commitment to fighting corruption after the former head of Pratama Belawan, a subsidiary of state-owned port operator Pelindo III, made public accusations against the administration.
The allegations, which surfaced in recent days, centered on purported instances of corruption and mismanagement at the Kejati port facility.

As the probe unfolds, residents and business owners in the area are watching with bated breath, hoping that justice will be served. "We need our ports to function smoothly and efficiently," said one local resident. "Corruption must not undermine our economic development."
The case serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing struggle against corruption in Indonesia's port sector. As the country continues to push for greater transparency and accountability, the Kejati government's unwavering stance on this matter is seen as a beacon of hope for a more equitable future.
