EVALUATION OF POLICIES ON THE FIT AND PROPER TEST FOR STRATEGIC OFFICIALS IN SUPPORTING EFFORTS TO PREVENT AND ERADICATE CORRUPTION

Abstract

Integrity of strategic officials is absolutely necessary to support the effective implementation of corruption prevention and eradication system in a government. To get officials with integrity, one of the efforts pursued is to apply the mechanism of fit and proper test. Based on a comparative study of various invitation laws, it was found a number of crucial issues relating to the policy of the fit and proper test of a number of strategic officials. These crucial issues include differences in the standard requirements of prospective officials, the presence / absence of a selection committee, the absence of detailed guidelines on information sources and measures to provide objective assessments of the value of integrity from a candidate, and provisions regarding dismissal of officials who are potentially counterproductive with corruption prevention and eradication efforts
