JAKARTA - Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Corruption Eradication Commission (Dewas KPK) Tumpak Hatorangan spoke about reports of alleged violations of the code of ethics filed by Brigadier General Endar Priantoro. Endar complained Firli Bahuri and Cahya H Harefa as Chair and Secretary General of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to the Supervisory Board (Dewas) for removing himself as Director of KPK Investigation. The dismissal was stated in a letter from the Secretary General of the KPK dated March 31, 2023. "The report has been received. We will study it later. But we have received the report," said Tumpak at the ACLC KPK Building, Jakarta, Wednesday, April 5. Tumpak did not want to comment much on the lack of coordination between the KPK-Polri in the placement of Brigadier General Endar. "We'll study it first. We haven't learned it yet. I don't know yet," said Tumpak. Brigadier General Endar Priantoro is a former Director of Investigation of the KPK who was honorably dismissed as Letter of the Secretary General of the KPK dated March 31, 2023. The letter from the Secretary General of the KPK was addressed to the National Police regarding the re-handling of Endar Priantoro to the National Police institution on March 30, 2023. However, National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo wrote back to the Chairman of the KPK Firli Bahuri regarding the answer to the return of Polri members to serve in the KPK environment. The National Police Chief, in the response letter registered with Number: B/2725/IV/KEP./2023 as of April 3, 2023, maintains or assigns Brigadier General Pol. Endar Priantoro as Director of KPK Investigation. In the reply letter, Listyo Sigit conveyed to the KPK leadership the re-handling of Brigadier General Endar Priantoro who carried out his assignment as Director of Investigation of the KPK.

Meanwhile, Brigadier General Endar has reported KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri to the KPK Supervisory Board (Dewas) regarding his removal. Endar admitted that he had received an assignment extension letter from the National Police at the KPK. However, the KPK leadership decided to continue to remove Endar from his position and return him to the Bhayangkara Corps for no apparent reason. "This has been extended, but for no apparent reason I also don't know what the considerations are. Later we will examine the considerations of the KPK leadership, the secretary general then issues a decree. We will test it later, both in the Council and in other laws," said Endar.
