- Abstract
The study explores the challenges of controlling corruption in local public spending by the local law enforcement officers (Aparat Penegak Hukum [APH]), namely local police and prosecutor's office. This study adopts multiple case study strategy on local public spending in the Central Sulawesi Region, including Sigi Regency, Donggala Regency, and Palu City. The results of the analysis of documents and in-depth interviews with APH show that limited resources, poor apparatus integrity, and tolerant behavior towards corruption. Thus, this study highlights an understanding of the inadequate institutional capacity of law enforcement for dealing with corruption. Another contribution is that it is important for policy makers to re-rationalize the role of APH in fighting corruption in the regions.
