JAKARTA - Transparency International Indonesia (TII) Research Manager Wawan Suyatmiko said there are several scenarios that President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) can do after Lili Pintauli Siregar's resignation as Deputy Chair of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).
One of them is to vacate the position. Lili resigned from her position and was approved by President Jokowi when she allegedly received accommodation and tickets for the Mandalika MotoGP from PT Pertamina (Persero).
"The scenario could be left blank for up to one year. After all, it's only for a year. In 2023 we will elect a new leader," said Wawan when contacted by VOI, Thursday, July 13.
Wawan believes that the collegial collective system when the head of the anti-corruption commission carries out duties will not be problematic. "Four people are already collegial collectives," he said.
Collective collegial is a leadership system that involves interested parties in issuing decisions or policies through a deliberation mechanism to reach an agreement.
"The KPK had only four leaders, at that time during Antasari Azhar's time. When he was caught in a case, then only Bibit S. Rianto and Chandra Hamzah. A year later, Busyro Muqqodas came in," explained Wawan.
"Actually there is no problem," he continued.
Meanwhile, in another scenario, Jokowi could have appointed the deputy chairman of the five names of KPK leadership candidates who failed the due diligence test at the Indonesian House of Representatives some time ago. However, the former Governor of DKI Jakarta could have chosen other than number six.
The reason is that the KPK Law Number 19 of 2019 does not explicitly regulate who has the right. "It could be that (the chosen one, red) is another number that has the lowest rejection rate from DPR politicians. That is the most so-so choice," he said.
The five names that are next in line are Sigit Danang Joyo with 19 votes; Lutfi Jayadi Kurniawan was elected by 7 people; and I Nyoman Wara, Johanes Tanak, Robby Arya Brata who each received zero votes.

Not until there, Jokowi is also very likely to appoint officials from below such as deputies and other ministries.
However, whoever will replace Lili's position, TII normatively says there are several things that must be considered. Including, those who are elected are expected to have high integrity.
"When asked how I should answer, I will answer normatively. A figure who has high integrity, a person who is willing to cooperate with other institutions including the community, a person who can maintain ethics and enforce the law. But that's normative," said Wawan.
Previously, Lili Pintauli resigned on June 30. Jokowi responded to this resignation letter by issuing a presidential decree on the dismissal on Monday, July 11.
Meanwhile, after Lili officially resigned, President Jokowi said the process of filling the position left by Lili was still ongoing.
"The replacement for Mrs. Lili Pintauli is still in process," said Jokowi in the Presidential Secretariat's YouTube show, Tuesday, July 12.
He asked all parties to be patient while waiting for Lili's replacement. Meanwhile, the signing of the dismissal decision was only made on Monday, July 11 yesterday.
"I just signed the dismissal letter last week and it's still in the process of being replaced," said the former governor of DKI Jakarta.
"We will immediately propose (a replacement, ed) to the DPR. As soon as possible," continued Jokowi.
Meanwhile, when asked why Lili resigned from her position, Jokowi did not respond. He kept silent about the contents of the resignation letter.
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.
