Nawawi Pomolango Calls Firli's Case Unclear But Makes KPK's Image Bad
JAKARTA - The interim chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Nawawi Pomolango said the case of former KPK chairman Firli Bahuri made his institution slump.
This was conveyed by Nawawi in a working meeting between the KPK and Commission III of the DPR, Monday, July 1. Initially, he said he understood the image of his institution slumped because of many things, such as the Firli Bahuri case which allegedly blackmailed former Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) Syahrul Yasin Limpo.
"Regarding the image of our institution, we really understand the slump in the image of institutions like this, some of which are behind it, for example the case of the previous chairman," Nawawi said in a meeting broadcast on the DPR RI YouTube.
Nawawi then mentioned that this case had not received clarity. "The case files go back and forth at the police level of the metro area and the DKI High Prosecutor's Office," he said.
"And we have received a slump rather than the determination of the person concerned as a suspect without us now knowing what his fate will be," continued Nawawi.

Previously reported, Member of Commission III of the DPR Benny K Harman questioned the fate of the previous KPK chairman, Firli Bahuri in a working meeting. He said this figure just disappeared.
"Please explain what is wrong with the Chairman of the KPK? Explain that. Explain to the public, not to us, to the public so that the public knows. Don't let it go, what's wrong? The public doesn't know what's going on in this KPK. The chairman of the KPK just disappeared, the period just disappeared," asked Benny in a working meeting of the KPK with Commission III of the DPR, Monday, July 1.
The Democrat politician also mentioned the KPK leadership who reported members of the supervisory board (Dewas). Then, there was also the leader of the anti-corruption commission who immediately resigned after being declared to have violated the code of ethics.
Thus, he questioned the power of the KPK which is now fragile. Because it does not process its commissioners who violate ethics and corruption.
"Second, there are members of the KPK leadership, yes, reporting to members of the Council, yes. The KPK leadership is here, what is it? Is it so fragile that the KPK is? It used to be there, the KPK leadership who was declared to have violated the code of ethics. Then, it's good that he resigned, you know that," he said.
