JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Nawawi Pomolango, agreed that investigations into alleged corruption cases must be carried out in a closed manner.

This was conveyed in support of the statement of former KPK investigator Aulia Postiera. He even considered that what was conveyed by his former employee could be a correction.

"I think what Mas Aulia Postiera said should be considered and corrected. Considering that Mas Aulia is a former Head of the Lidik Task Force who is known to be capable," Nawawi said in a written statement to reporters, Tuesday, November 23.

Apart from being closed, continued Nawawi, investigations into alleged corruption should be carried out in secret. "The reason for transparency cannot be used as an excuse in a legal process like this," he said.

Furthermore, Nawawi said Aulia certainly did not have any tendencies towards the KPK. He even expressed his gratitude for his former employee still paying attention.

"Indeed, eradicating corruption is a series of actions, not a series of words. Perhaps the meaning that Mas Aulia wants to remind us is to increase actions, reduce words," he said. As previously reported, former KPK investigator Aulia Postiera exposed bad habits that occurred after the anti-corruption commission was led by Firli. Bahuri et al. One of them, the KPK often announces cases that are still under investigation.

"The bad habits of the KPK during the Firli cs era: 1. Announcing cases that are still under investigation," Aulia said as quoted from her Twitter account @paidjodirajo, Monday, November 22.

Not only that, Firli Bahuri et al have another habit of not announcing suspects in alleged corruption crimes even though an Investigation Order (Sprindik) has been issued.

The KPK, continued Aulia, has a habit of announcing suspects after an arrest is made and this raises questions.

"Guess what that means," he said.
