While reviewing a public procurement tender, a supplier approaches you privately and offers an overseas conference package in exchange for technical specification adjustments. What is the most principled ethical response?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Politely reject the offer immediately and report the gratification attempt to the internal compliance unit
- Step 1: Under Law 31/1999 in conjunction with Law 20/2001 on Corruption Eradication, gifts or benefits offered to civil servants relating to official duties constitute gratification (gratifikasi). Step 2. The required administrative conduct is immediate refusal and formal reporting to the Unit Pengendalian Gratifikasi (UPG) / KPK within statutory deadlines. Answer: Politely reject the offer immediately and report the gratification attempt to the internal compliance unit. Why not the others: Accepting gifts on behalf of the office without authorization remains gratification; postponing or redirecting to charity fails the legal duty of outright rejection and reporting.
