JAKARTA - The government is finalizing the formation of a selection committee for candidates for the leadership of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).
Minister of State Secretary Pratikno explained that this was in accordance with the provisions of Law Number 19 of 2019 concerning the Second Amendment to Law Number 30 of 2022 concerning the Corruption Eradication Commission which mandates the term of office of the KPK leadership is four years.
"This means that the current KPK leadership will end on December 20, 2023, because the inauguration, four years ago, was December 20," said Pratikno, quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, May 24.
The Minister of State Secretary said it was hoped that the committee for the appointed KPK leadership could start working before mid-June 2023.
Thus, the Pansel still has about six months to carry out the selection process for prospective KPK leaders.
"As with the selection experience of public officials so far, six months is enough time to find the best sons and daughters," he said.
Based on Article 21 (2) in Law Number 19 of 2019 it is stated that the composition of the KPK leadership consists of the chairman and concurrent members and four deputy chairmen and concurrent members.
