"The inspectorate conducts an examination and calculation of alleged state financial losses with a value of Rp. 550 million with a period of 2021-2022," said KPK Secretary General Cahya H Harefa at a press conference at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Tuesday, June 27.

Cahya said this employee was also complained about slowing down the administrative process. So, his colleagues and superiors complained.

After these findings, the KPK Inspectorate has reported to the Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK. The actions of the employee, who was not identified, must be thoroughly investigated.

Not only that, the Secretary General of the KPK will also report the employee to the Supervisory Board. He must also receive ethical punishments like other employees who are caught violating the rules.

"It is the same with the process that the person has been relieved of his duties to facilitate the examination process," said Cahya.

Furthermore, Cahya said that the investigation into the alleged corruption would continue. Including looking for other employees' participation.

"So for the time being one person," he concluded.
