JAKARTA - Former Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Agus Rahardjo confirmed that he was running as a candidate for a member of the Regional Representative Council (DPD) from East Java.
He chose the route because he did not want to mess with his own saliva after commenting on regeneration in political parties. Because, Agus once said that the process should not be hampered just because certain big names enter the party.
"I used to lecture in parties, one of my messages was that party cadres must always be maintained and well nurtured. Party cadres who have potential dedication, performance, and integrity should not be overtaken by rich people, artists, or former officials," Agus said when contacted by reporters, Friday, May 19.
Even so, Agus admitted that he was offered many political parties to run for office. However, he refused and chose to run as a candidate for DPD member.
"Well, if I go forward, it's like vacuuming my own saliva," he said.
Furthermore, Agus said that he would bring several programs if he was elected as a member of the DPD. In addition, he will contribute to the welfare of the community.
