Alexander Marwata Claims Will Be At Home After The Term Of Office At The KPK Ends

JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Alexander Marwata claims that he has no plans after his term ends in December. However, he is ready to help if asked to campaign for anti-corruption values.

"Where are you going? Not anywhere (after the term of office ends, ed). I'll just go home," Alexander told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Friday, November 22.

"Will it encourage an anti-corruption campaign, yes, I think I've been an ASN for 30 years, the last 9 years at the KPK, of course, if only asked to share experiences or what, okay, no problem," he continued.

Alexander said he was not interested in holding certain positions. Because, he felt there was a need for regeneration.

He said, many young people could be able to innovate from him. "Will I return to the government, I think that's enough, yes. There are times when we have to dare to say enough. We have to give opportunities for younger people, new workers," he said.

"Never feel that without my presence, without my existence the problem will not be resolved. Yes, no, right. There is still regeneration, there are new personnel who may be more innovative. If I was here again, wow, maybe it's my brain mate, I don't know anymore, what should I do," continued Alexander.

For information, Alexander Marwata served as Deputy Chair of the KPK for two terms, namely 2015-2019 and 2019-2024. In his first term, he served with Saut Situmorang, Basaria Panjaitan, and Laode M. Syarif, chaired by Agus Rahardjo.

Meanwhile, in the 2019-2024 period, Alexander served as vice chairman with Nawawi Pomolango, Lili Pintauli Siregar, and Nurul Ghufron chaired by Firli Bahuri.

However, this composition changed in the middle of the road. Lili Pintauli as vice chairman then resigned to be replaced by Johanis Tanak. Meanwhile, the position left by Firli for resigning after becoming a suspect was occupied by Nawawi Pomolango who served as interim chairman.
