JAKARTA - The Indonesian Anti-Corruption Society (MAKI) believes that the Deputy Chairperson of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Lili Pintauli Siregar should resign from her position. He is considered a burden and a burden on the anti-corruption commission.

This was conveyed by MAKI Coordinator Boyamin Saiman in response to Lili's reporting to the KPK Supervisory Board. Lili was reported for allegedly receiving accommodation and tickets for the Mandalika MotoGP from a State-Owned Enterprise (BUMN).

"For the good of the KPK, LPS should have resigned. We are of the view that LPS has burdened the KPK and is no longer useful to the KPK," said Boyamin in a written statement to reporters, Wednesday, April 13.

According to Boyamin, Lili's reporting this time should be the second yellow card. This is because the first yellow card was given by the Supervisory Board when he was proven to have violated ethics after communicating with the former Mayor of Tanjungbalai, M Syahrial.

Not only that, Boyamin also mentioned that Lili is currently still a 'patient' of the KPK Supervisory Board regarding allegations of lying at a press conference by saying she had never communicated with Syahrial. In fact, what happened was the opposite.

Thus, MAKI urges the KPK Supervisory Board to immediately complete the investigation process and proceed with an ethics session. Moreover, Boyamin believes that the allegations of ethical violations are very strong because currently investigations and official summons have been carried out against related parties.

"The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will immediately complete the investigation process and continue the trial in order to provide certainty over the alleged LPS violations for the sake of public trust in the KPK," he said.

This step, Boyamin continued, needs to be done in order to maintain public trust in the KPK. "If it drags on, it will further erode public trust, with the result that the KPK's performance in eradicating corruption will decrease because the leadership has problems," he said.

As previously reported, Lili allegedly received gratuities in the form of hotel accommodation and tickets to watch the Mandalika MotoGP from one of the state-owned companies.

This complaint was then followed up by the KPK Council by asking for clarification from a number of parties. In addition, Tumpak Hatorangan et al have asked related parties to bring proof of booking accommodation at Amber Lombok Beach Resort and Mandalika MotoGP tickets at the Grandstand Premium Zone A-Red.

As for this complaint, this is not the first time that it has been directed against Lili. On August 30, 2021, the Corruption Eradication Committee (KPK) Council stated that Lili was proven to have violated the code of ethics and code of conduct, so she was sentenced to severe sanctions.

He was found guilty of violating the code of ethics and behavioral guidelines in the form of abuse of influence as a KPK leader for personal interests and dealing directly with the party whose case is being handled by the KPK, namely the Mayor of Tanjungbalai M Syahrial.

For her actions, Lili was given a severe sanction in the form of cutting her basic salary by 40 percent for 12 months or Rp. 1,848 million.
