Wirjawan Says Indonesia's Fiscal Health (another 'non-crucial priority' issue)

I don't think Indonesian citizens really could buy what Gita Wirjawan said : "country's fiscal health and government's efforts to reduce corruption".. (like it could lower credit rating when it comes to Public Finance *coughing) and how local governments are benefiting from using Fiscal Health diagnostic *coughing again. How it could reduce the corruption then? How about it's another way to create corruption while using Indonesian citizen's money? We are talking about prioritization budgeting here, unless the government take responsibility by in charge to cover up the whole expenses. 
As PBB Center mentions : The process also (supposed to) brings together government finance officers, civic leaders, and community citizens to make decisions that better align the community's resources with what the community and its leaders value the most. Accomplish this and you've attained Fiscal Health and Wellness©. 
* I'm not sure how this 'could work' in Indonesia? ; but if this 'non-crucial priority' issue being progress, may the government leaders 'allow' community citizens to get involve.  
Anyway either we're talking about non profit organization or profitable one, whatever government says about 'for the sake of Indonesia' is I really don't buy it.
