Looking at the corruption issues that happen in the government?s rank and consequently creating a negative impact in the social service quality, Pangeran Siahaan, the moderator in Dia.lo.gue asked the opinion from the three president candidates as well as the solutions that they can offer.

According to Anies, ?Corruption can be eradicated through correct moral implementation. The implementation can be started from family. It is because values from family will continue to the education system of the society itself. If society already has the correct mindset, then there will be no more corruption.? Anies also touch on the importance of welfare. According to him, one of the main factors that many people could commit corruption is because that they are lacking something, for example insufficient salary to support household.
gita  On the other hand, Gita responded the corruption issue by highlighting the importance of a corruption watch institution that has integrity and courage. ?I am quite proud of KPK?s achievements in the recent years. KPK officers have shown that they are brave enough to eradicate and bring judgments to those who commit corruption in the government? ranks. Although, the quality of KPK itself still need a lot of improvement. The survey showed that the ratio of investigators to the total of Indonesia state workers is 1 to 45000. It is impossible to solve the corruption issues with minimum number of investigators.?

We have to recognize the signs when laws are being treated as a tool for trading. We are now in the year of 2014; it is time to return to a clean governance system. It is without saying that if the upper tier has to be clean, the under tier have to follow suit,? said Dino. 
Dia.lo.gue started from 09.30 and finished at 12.30. The event then continued with students and speakers enjoying their lunch together. More than 300 participants consisted of students from UPH, UMN, UI and other campus in the Jabodetabek region.
