Panggungharjo Village undergoes anti-corruption evaluation by KPK and Bantul

The Bantul Regency Government and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) conducted a monitoring and evaluation session in Panggungharjo Village to assess the implementation of its anti-corruption village status. The initiative aims to ensure that anti-corruption principles, including transparency and accountability in public services and budget management, are applied consistently rather than remaining merely ceremonial.

KPK representative Ibnu Basuki Wibowo emphasized that the evaluation focuses on maintaining the application of 18 indicators to prepare the village for its fifth-year reassessment. The Bantul Regent expressed the goal of expanding these clean governance practices from Panggungharjo to all 75 villages within the regency.

In practice, the anti-corruption framework is reflected in community development programs, such as housing renovation assistance for vulnerable residents. These programs involve a verification process by village officials and the Village Consultative Body (Bamuskal) to ensure funds are used effectively and transparently for direct community benefits.
