President Joko Widodo has exchanged a set of Metallica Master of Puppets albums to avoid of corruption

News24xx.com -  President Joko Widodo has exchanged a set of Metallica Master of Puppets albums with some money to avoid a conflict of interest, said Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) spokesman Febri Diyansyah.

Jokowi, known as a metalhead lover, received a double vinyl album as a gift from Danish Prime Minister Lars Lkke Rasmussen on November 28 last year in a state visit.

Jokowi then reported the award to the KPK, which declared it as part of the state inventory on January 31.

But he decided to pay 11 million rupiah to redeem the album.

Febri said Jokowi's actions could set an example for other government officials when receiving gifts from their foreign colleagues.

"It's not about the money paid, but consistent corruption awareness even from the smallest problem," he said.
