Komnas HAM Has Not Yet Sent A Summons To KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri

JAKARTA - The National Human Rights Commission (Komnas HAM) has not yet sent a summons to the leadership of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) for investigation.

This examination relates to the complaints of 75 KPK employees regarding alleged human rights violations in the implementation of the National Insight Test (TWK).

Commissioner for Monitoring the Investigation of Komnas HAM, Choirul Anam, on Monday, May 31, said that this summons would not be carried out because his party would first complete the existing findings.

"Not yet (sent a letter to the leadership, ed). We have to finish this (examination of KPK employee witnesses, ed), look at the structure, our findings. Because it will be a provision to deepen what should be deepened," Anam told reporters like quoted Friday, May 4th.

After this process is complete, Komnas HAM will then ask for information from the KPK leadership if needed to clarify the implementation of the TWK. Including, the objectivity of the test over the status of the state civil apparatus or ASN will also be explored.

"In the context of the leadership of the KPK, yes, in terms of human rights, this can be an opportunity for all of them to provide clarification and so on. We'll see what kind of objectivity it is, whether it's in accordance with the law, or not in accordance with human rights, or not in accordance with our customary rules regarding how to occupy our nationality," he said.

Previously, KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri spoke about the plan to summon him by the National Human Rights Commission (Komnas HAM).

He admitted that he had discussed the plan for this summons with four other KPK leaders, although he did not know what would be extracted from him.

"I don't understand what Komnas HAM will ask. But what is certain is, of course we have discussed it with our colleagues from the KPK leadership," Firli told reporters at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Central Jakarta, Thursday, June 3.

This discussion was conducted because the pattern of leadership in the anti-corruption commission was a collegial collective.

"So whatever we do must be decided together and must be jointly and severally responsible," he said.

However, he denied that he would come to the summons. "Who said that? I haven't said that, you know," he said.
