JAYAPURA – The Papua Provincial Government reaffirmed its commitment to improving governance after the Monitoring, Controlling, Surveillance for Prevention (MCSP) score—or the regional corruption prevention system—experienced a significant decline. As of September 5, 2025, Papua’s interim MCSP score stood at only 16.4 percent.
Acting Regional Secretary of Papua, Suzana Wanggai, said this condition has become a serious concern for the provincial government. She explained that one of the technical challenges faced was the limited human resources in charge of inputting the MCSP evidence data.
“Many of them have been reassigned, which disrupted reporting consistency. Currently, Papua’s score is only 16.4 percent, and this must be addressed immediately,” Suzana said in Jayapura, Monday (Sept 8, 2025).
Suzana added that the Papua Provincial Government is now coordinating with the Corruption Eradication Commission through MCSP monitoring and evaluation activities. “The presence of KPK guides so that governance becomes better, cleaner, and free from corruption,” she said.
Previously, Papua’s MCSP score reached 93 in 2023 but dropped drastically in 2024. This decline drew attention from the Head of the Regional Coordination and Supervision Task Force for Region V of the Corruption Eradication Commission, Nurul Ichsan Al Huda, who emphasized the need for consistent improvements at the regional level.
“If the score is low, it means prevention efforts are also low. That implies corruption risks are higher and more difficult to detect,” explained Nurul Ichsan.
He further noted that MCSP is an instrument for measuring corruption prevention performance through indicators and supporting documents that local governments must upload. According to him, high achievements are possible, as proven by several regions such as Bali and Denpasar, which managed to record scores of 99. ***
