There Are Employees Who Are Ashamed To Admit That They Work At The KPK, This Is Nurul Ghufron's Response

JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Nurul Ghufron denied that any of his employees were embarrassed and covered up that they were working on the anti-corruption commission.

He conveyed this in response to the story of former KPK spokesman Febri Diansyah which was conveyed through his Twitter account.

"I don't think so, because all of them are KPK employees, we know the fact that they are trying to remain employees," said Ghufron when contacted by VOI, Thursday, August 12.

"That means pride in being a KPK employee," he added.

He also stated that his employees are currently still working to deal with corruption cases. "Our performance is still on despite the COVID-19 condition," he said.

As previously reported, Febri said that a colleague did not want to be called working at the KPK because he was embarrassed. He conveyed this through his Twitter account @febridiansyah and the story received thousands of likes and retweets.

Starting his story, Febri said he initially invited his friend who is still working at the KPK to meet and discuss over coffee. His friend accepted the invitation, but he asked Febri to keep his workplace a secret if he met other people.

"He ordered: If you're someone else, don't say I'm from the KPK. "Why?" I asked. "Shame", he said," said Febri imitating the conversation in his tweet, which was quoted on Thursday, August 12.

Febri said that his friend, who is a KPK employee, did not want his work to be known by others, not because of the secret or closed nature of his work. "He and some of his friends are very worried about the current condition of the KPK, which is increasingly giving rise to a controversial side," he said.
