Customs Officers Face Strict Action for Corruption

Firing and Investigation of Corrupt Officers

The Directorate General of Customs and Excise at the Ministry of Finance has taken a firm stance against corruption within its ranks. Recently, 33 customs officers were fired and 27 others are under investigation for committing fraud and serious disciplinary violations. This move is part of the organization's efforts to improve the quality of service and enhance revenue collection for the state.

Impact on Officers and Organizational Culture

The officers who were fired and those under investigation will lose their salaries and benefits, which amount to tens of millions of rupiah. This strict action is expected to serve as a deterrent to other officers who might be tempted to engage in corrupt practices. The Directorate General of Customs and Excise is committed to upholding the integrity of its officers and providing excellent service to the public.
