The KPK Pansel Formation Of The Government Must Fill In Kredible People

The Dean of the Faculty of Law, Padjadjaran University, Sigid Susenomerankan, the Selection Committee for Candidates for the Leadership of the Corruption Eradication Commission or the KPK Pansel which is being formed by the government must be filled with credible people.

"Kita tahu KPK itu superbodyya, memiliki kekuatan yang meskipun tidak sebesar dulu, tetapi tetap memiliki kekuatan dan kepentingan untuk penegakan hukum terhadap tindak pidana korupsi sehingga pansel ini juga harus diisi oleh orang-orang yang punya kredibilitas tinggi," kata Sigid dilansir ANTARA, Rabu, 8 Mei.

Therefore, he advised the government to continue to receive input and views on candidates for Pansel KPK members.

"Because this was the first one, because this will elect the KPK leadership. So, maybe it is also necessary to see that this pandemic has credibility and has insight regarding the issue of law enforcement for this anti-corruption," he explained.

Sigid said that members of the KPK Pansel must have national insight regarding the interests of law enforcement for anti-corruption.

Moreover, the previous chairman of the KPK, Firli Bahuri, was involved in the alleged extortion case against former Agriculture Minister Syahrul Yasin Limpo.

"Then, recently the chairman of the KPK was also hit by a case. In my opinion, it is very embarrassing, the institution that should have handled corruption is actually involved in corruption," he said.

Meanwhile, he suggested that the selection process for prospective KPK leaders to be carried out by the elected committee should be tightened compared to before. KPK leaders for the next period must have qualified credibility, integrity, and competence.

Previously, Presidential Special Staff Coordinator Ari Dwipayana said the KPK Leadership Candidate Pansel would be announced this month.

"The plan will be announced this month," said Ari Dwipayana in a statement to reporters.

Ari said that currently the formation of the KPK Leadership Candidate Pansel is still in process.

The term of office of the KPK leadership and the KPK Supervisory Board will end in December 2024.

Based on the provisions, the president will form a selection committee to screen the KPK leadership for the next period.

The Pansel will be tasked with selecting candidates for KPK leaders before they will be submitted to the DPR RI to conduct a fit and proper test.
