JAKARTA - The Indonesian Anti-Corruption Society (MAKI) has urged the alleged receipt of accommodation and tickets for the Mandalika MotoGP by former Deputy Chairperson of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Lili Pintauli Siregar to be investigated immediately. The anti-corruption commission was asked to be firm with itself.

"The KPK is tough on other people, so it must also be tough on itself, namely against allegations of corruption committed by KPK people, both leaders and employees," said MAKI Coordinator Boyamin Saiman to reporters quoted on Wednesday, July 13.

Boyamin reminded that the alleged criminal law that occurred could not be dismissed just because the KPK Supervisory Board decided not to follow up on the ethics trial.

The reason the KPK Council did not extend the ethics session was that Lili had resigned from her position. "If there is an allegation of criminal law, there is no cancellation or cancellation process," said Boyamin.

"So this, the KPK should also deal with the KPK leaders who are suspected of committing bribery and gratifications, they should deal with it quickly and hard. That is to be expected," he continued.

If the anti-corruption commission feels unable, continued Boyamin, they can ask the Attorney General's Office or the National Police to investigate Lili's alleged receipt.

"But it can be embarrassing if it's the Attorney General and the police (who are investigating, ed)," he said.

Lili Pintauli was reported to the KPK Supervisory Board for allegedly receiving accommodation and tickets for the Mandalika MotoGP from PT Pertamina (Persero). In carrying out the investigation, Tumpak and colleagues have asked for information from various parties, including the President Director of PT Pertamina, Nicke Widyawati.

However, this trial was declared void because the former Deputy Chairperson of the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) resigned from his position. The KPK Council reasoned that Lili was no longer a member of the KPK.

The resignation letter was submitted on June 30 to President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). After accepting Lili's resignation, Jokowi then issued Presidential Decree No. 71/P/2022 concerning the Dismissal of the KPK Leaders.
