Asep became the executor until the KPK finished selecting the replacement for Inspector General Karyoto, who now serves as the Metro Jaya Police Chief. However, Ali has not specified when the selection stage will be carried out.

"(Being the executor of the task, ed) until later the definitive official is elected," he said.
