Alexander Marwata Gives Tips To New KPK Leaders: Must Be Sefrequency, Disband If Not

JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Alexander Marwata said five leaders for the 2024-2029 period must equalize the frequency. They need to sit together to synergize with one another.

The new leadership, what should they do? The first is the synergy. This is not easy, because it brings together five thoughts, five ideas, five heads. The frequency of five leaders must be the same first, it must be the same, if not disbanded," Alexander told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Friday, November 22.

Alexander said that this case was actually not easy. Reflecting on his experience, the five KPK leaders are usually close and the collegial collective system can run well when they are just appointed.

However, over time usually this condition will change. Maybe at the beginning, my experience, at the beginning maybe still close. Still meeting one table and so on," he said.

"I don't know how long it can last when I'm then tempted by personal interests, persons, yes, then go without permission without saying goodbye, where to go, other leaders don't know, so it's just a matter of time that the collegial collective will break. That's right, "continued Alexander.

In addition, future leaders are asked to prioritize their common sense. Mainly if you face friction with each other.

"Five years is not a short time, yes. Not a short time. What am I, (the message, ed) may arise between leaders' frictions, but yes please, use common sense, right," he said.

Then the new leaders were also asked not to prioritize personal and group interests. Alexander reminded the employees to usually monitor them.

"Later, KPK employees will also supervise them, take care of them. I say, take care of your leadership, don't let them fall into unethical actions whose impact has an impact on the reputation of the institution," he said.

"Take care of them, escort them, remind them that they are not doing good things, or contrary to the code of ethics and so on. That's an internal task of the KPK," explained Alexander.

Previously reported, Commission III of the DPR appointed the KPK leadership for the period 2024-2029. As chairman was Setyo Budiyanto, who previously served as Inspector General of the Ministry of Agriculture under Andi Amran Sulaiman and had served as Director of KPK Investigations.
