The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has spoken about Brigadier General Endar Priantoro's report to the Ombudsman regarding the alleged maladministration of his dismissal as Director of Investigation. It is certain that this process is in accordance with the rules and does not violate the applicable administration.

"It is important that we convey that the completion of the term of office of the KPK Director of Investigation is of course in accordance with the provisions and does not violate the principles of applicable administrative law," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Monday evening, April 17.

Even so, the KPK still respects the reporting efforts to the Ombudsman. "Because we appreciate the main tasks and functions of ORI in supervising the implementation of public services organized by state officials in the central and regional governments," said Ali.

Ali asked the public to wait for the Ombudsman's follow-up before commenting. There should be no premature conclusion submitted in the public sphere before this alleged maladministration is clear.

Moreover, the work of eradicating corruption will certainly not be disrupted even though there is resistance from Brigadier General Endar regarding his dismissal. "We also hope that the public will not quickly conclude for themselves regarding the results of the follow-up to the report," he said.

Previously, Endar officially reported the leadership, Secretary General, and Head of the KPK HR Bureau to the Indonesian Ombudsman. He suspects that maladministration occurred when he was dismissed as Director of Investigation of the KPK.

In addition, he reported KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri and KPK Secretary General Cahya H. Harefa to the KPK Supervisory Board. Then, Endar also reported other alleged violations such as leaking documents for investigating alleged corruption at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources to forcing the manufacture of documents even though the title of the case or exposure had not been carried out.

Endar was honorably dismissed from the position of Director of Investigation on March 31 after he was returned to the National Police. However, the Bhayangkara Corps member was instead asked to return to the KPK according to the order of the National Police Chief, General Listyo Sigit Prabowo.
