The plan, he will be out of town until Wednesday, November 8 but also more than that. " “ So it's not making it up, no, but because the conditions are like that so there needs to be a reschedule at the request of the Polda Metro Jaya," Johanis told reporters at the KPK's Red and White House, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, November 6. Johanis said the activity could not be reorganized. Moreover, for example, Firli was replaced by the head of another anti-corruption commission. " “ If the Chair changes it to me and I replace it to the Chairman, it will no longer mix the delivery," he said.
