The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Council Ensures That Nurul Ghufron's Alleged Ethical Violation Will Be Completed

JAKARTA - The Supervisory Board of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed that the alleged abuse of authority for ethical violations by the Deputy Chairperson of the KPK, Nurul Ghufron, will continue. Although there are reports against members of the Supervisory Board, Albertina Ho, they are not afraid.

"As soon as possible it will be resolved," said KPK Supervisory Board member Syamsuddin Haris to reporters in a written statement quoted on Thursday, April 25.

The ethical violations allegedly committed by Ghufron were related to employees at the Ministry of Agriculture. He abused his position to deal with the mutation of an employee there.

Syamsuddin asked the public to continue to monitor the steps taken by the supervisory board to deal with the alleged abuse of authority by Ghufron. "Just wait," he said.

As previously reported, Nurul Ghufron has reported a member of the supervisory board to the KPK Supervisory Board. He suspects there is abuse of authority.

"As a member of the KPK, I have an obligation as stipulated in Article 4 paragraph (2) letter b of Perdewas No. 3 of 2021 states: in implementing the basic values of integrity, every member of the Commission is obliged to report if they know of any alleged ethical violations committed by the Commission Personnel," said Nurul Ghufron to reporters in a written statement, Wednesday, April 24.

Ghufron said the alleged abuse of authority reported was in the form of a request for the results of the analysis of financial transactions of anti-corruption commission employees. He said the KPK Council was not authorized because it was not law enforcement officials.
