KPK (Corruption Eradication Commission) Deputy Chief Moch Jasin said here on Tuesday at a meeting of the G20 anti-corruption working group, Indonesia and France had been chosen to become the joint chair of the group.

He said he himself had been appointed to be the chairman of the group flanked by Gunadi, who is the deputy chairman of the Financial Transactions Analysis and Reporting Center (PPATK) and Febryan Ruddyard, the foreign ministry`s director of the KIPS.

The main issues discussed at the meeting at the Four Season Hotel were among others efforts to create a strong and effective anti-bribery regime, prevention of coruptors` access to Global Financial System, promoting protection of whistleblowers, recouping corrupted assets, strengthening anti-corruption agencies and agenda to accelerate implementation of UNCAC with a high standard.

The meeting of the G20 anti-corruption working group, he said, is held with a hope to accelerate national and transnational corruption eradication.

Other things discussed in the discussion group are linked to efforts to prevent corruptors` access to global financial transactions including money laundering, protection of whistleblowers, the creation of a system to prevent access for corruptors to go abroad.

It has also been agreed that G20 will create a forum that will develop and implement an initiative that will make the private sector across the globe fight corruption.

The business world will be included as one of the stakeholders of the anti-corruption drive and the committment to anti-corruption is very fundamental.

G20 is a group of 19 big economies plus European Union established in 1999 as a forum that systematically mobilizes advanced and developing economic powers to discuss important world economic issues. Indonesia is the only member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) that becomes G20 member.
