JAKARTA - KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri responded to the news that his party wrote to the National Police Chief and the Attorney General for the promotion of the Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK and the Director of Investigation. "Why?" said Firli when asked by reporters at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Thursday, February 9. Confirming the truth of the information, Firli emphasized that the authority related to the careers of police officers and the attorney general's office was only in the two agencies. The KPK, he said, could only communicate with the Police and the AGO regarding members who served in his institution. "The development of the police and prosecutor's career is the responsibility of the prosecutor's office and the police, we can only communicate. Everything is with them, because their career development is in the prosecutor's office and in the National Police," said Firli. Previously, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) would check the news that stated that there was a request for the Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Karyoto and the Director of Investigation Endar Priantoro to receive promotions in their original agency, the National Police. "We'll check later," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Thursday, February 9. Quoted from Tempo newspaper, there was a letter addressed to the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo for the National Police to withdraw Karyoto and Endar Priantoro to the Bhayangkara Corps. Allegedly, this request is related to the investigation into alleged corruption in the implementation of Formula E in Jakarta. Returning to Ali, he admitted that he did not know about the existence of the request letter. However, KPK personnel from other agencies such as the National Police and the Attorney General's Office have a time limit for work. Not only that, they can also choose a career in the initial agency. "That's normal. So don't mean something later. Usually they choose an old career," he said. Moreover, changes within the KPK are also common. Ali gave an example, the anti-corruption commission has just appointed a number of employees from other agencies. "So I hope that this problem can be understood normally. Don't then mean anything else," he said. "(This, red) is part of the career development processes of civil servant employees at the KPK. The number is more than 250 people at the KPK," he added. The polemic about the investigation into the alleged corruption of Formula E has indeed been in the spotlight lately. Moreover, in the midst of this issue, the Director of Prosecution for Fitroh Rohahyanto turned out to return to his original agency, the Attorney General's Office on the grounds that he wanted to have a career there. Regarding the return of Fitroh, the KPK emphasized that this had nothing to do with the ongoing investigation process. The KPK said that Fitroh had served as a prosecutor for a long time and wanted to pursue a career at the Adhyaksa Corps.
