JAKARTA - Former employee of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Yudi Purnomo Harahap assessed that the decision of the head of the anti-corruption agency regarding the revocation of access to Brigadier General Endar Priantoro was provocative.

Access to Brigadier General Endar Priantoro from the KPK was officially revoked on Friday, April 7 yesterday. The revocation was conveyed by KPK Deputy Chair Alexander Marwata.

"Endar, according to Yudi, is still a KPK employee, both formally and materially, so that it should be able to go in and out of the KPK," said Yudi in his statement, Saturday, April 8.

Apart from being considered provocative, the decision to revoke Brigadier General Endar's access was also considered to imply that the KPK leadership did not respect the Supervisory Board (Dewas).

Meanwhile, Dewas had stated that he would check whether there was an ethical violation related to the repatriation of Brigadier General Endar Priantoro to the National Police which was considered odd.

"The KPK leadership should have waited for the results of the council examination before taking any action," he said.

In fact, the revocation of Brigadier General Endar's access and other series is considered to be tucked away by the personal interests behind it. So, doubtfully the KPK leadership will solve the problem.

Yudi assessed that the KPK leadership deliberately added to the heat of the problem. The goal is to make the intrnal conflict drag on.

"This act of revocation of access further strengthens the allegation that there is a personal interest, not the interests of the organization from the KPK leadership, to get rid of Endar from the KPK," said Yudi.
