Krisis KPK dan Budaya Korupsi

Kata korupsi terasa sangat akrab di telinga kita. Saking akrabnya, Indonesia saat ini masih menempati posisi lima besar negara terkorup di Asia. Mengenaskan memang, namun itu kenyataannya. Terminologi yang secara sederhana dapat didefinisikan sebagai kegiatan memperkaya diri oknum tertentu dengan menyalahgunakan kekuasaannya, seakan telah membudaya dalam deru nafas bangsa Indonesia.
