JAKARTA - Coordinator of the Indonesian Anti-Corruption Society (MAKI) Boyamin Saiman hopes that the Deputy Chairperson of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will attend the ethics session on Monday, July 11. It is hoped that he will not delay his resignation so that it can be processed immediately.

This was conveyed by Boyamin in response to the postponement of the ethics trial regarding the alleged receipt of the Mandalika MotoGP ticket by Lili Pintauli on Tuesday, July 5. The delay occurred because the former Deputy Chair of the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) actually went to Bali to participate in the second round of the 2022 G20 Anti Corruption Working Group (ACWG) event.

"We are really waiting for Mrs. Lili to be present at the trial on July 11," said Boyamin to reporters, Wednesday, July 6.

Boyamin considered that official affairs were the reason Lili did not attend the ethics trial. However, he hopes that the trial can be held in the midst of the issue of Lili's resignation from office.

"We hope that Mrs. Lili is really present on Monday and does not delay because of the resignation issue," he said.

In addition to attending, Boyamin also asked Lili to provide correct information to the KPK Council regarding the ticket receipts she did. Don't let him lie, like when he admitted that he had never communicated with the litigants, namely the former Mayor of Tanjungbalai M. Syahrial.

Not only that, the KPK Supervisory Board is expected to be firm in carrying out its duties. All documents and information that have been provided by related parties, including PT Pertamina (Persero) are expected to be clarified to Lili.

"We hope that in the future Mrs. Lili will give a clear and detailed statement, not like in the past who were considered to be lying both at the trial and conveying statements to the mass media before and after the trial," he said.

"All existing documents can later be dug up properly that the alleged violation of Mrs. Lili's ethics can be proven and found guilty with stricter sanctions, namely dismissal in the context of being asked to resign," continued Boyamin.

Previously, Lili was reported back to the KPK Council for allegedly receiving hotel accommodation facilities to tickets to watch the 2022 MotoGP race at the Mandalika International Circuit, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), from PT Pertamina (Persero).

In dealing with the alleged receipt, the KPK has collected materials and information from related parties, including the state-owned company. President Director of PT Pertamina (Persero) Nicke Widyawati has also been examined some time ago and provided additional information in writing.

Not only that, the KPK Council has also 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.
