The Meaning of the VOC Building in Indramayu from a Legal Perspective
Author: Dudung Badrun

I just learned that there’s a VOC building in Indramayu. It’s no wonder corruption, collusion, and nepotism are deeply rooted at all levels of power, and they were used to exploit their colonies.
Therefore, the workshop should examine:
First, examining corruption, collusion, and nepotism (KKN) in the education sector, related to the 20% education budget allocated to Indramayu, yet Indramayu’s human resources and human development index (HDI) are the lowest in West Java.
Second, the government’s annual grants/assistance, which are clearly in the hundreds of billions in the agriculture, fisheries, and maritime sectors, yet the poverty rate is also the highest in West Java.
Therefore, we ask that law enforcement officers (APH) pay close attention to the Indramayu Regional Government apparatus in the education, agriculture, fisheries, and maritime sectors in preventing and prosecuting corruption.**
