Where this process will involve sharing information and also various data about these judges," Fajar said in a press conference broadcast on the KPK YouTube account. RI, Thursday, March 4.

Furthermore, cooperation in supervising judges will also be carried out by forming a team. The distribution of supervision is carried out in accordance with the authority of each of these institutions.

Responding to Fajar's statement, KPK Deputy Chairman Alexander Marwata said KY would recruit 13 Supreme Court justices and the agency was asked to trace the track records of those who registered. As for the mechanism, the anti-graft commission will get the names of candidates after they have passed the administration.
