JAKARTA - Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) encourages the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to immediately explain the legal status of former Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) Syahrul Yasin Limpo (SYL) related to the alleged corruption case at the Ministry of Agriculture (Kementan).

Explanation of Syahrul Yasin Limpo's legal status is important because the alleged corruption case at the Ministry of Agriculture has become a public spotlight.

"We encourage the KPK to be clearer in handling this case. Moreover, this case has already become public consumption, so I think the public is also waiting for clarity from the KPK," said the Coordinator of the Indonesian Bureaucratic Public Service and Reform Division, Almas Sjafrina Wednesday, October 11.

Not only cases of alleged corruption at the Ministry of Agriculture, ICW also asked the KPK to explain the corruption cases it handled.

"Of course not only this case. Other cases handled by the KPK have not been completely resolved," he added.

Almas said that this needs to be done by the KPK so as not to cause rumors in the community. Moreover, a number of parties said SYL had been named a suspect, one of which was Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD.

"We encourage the KPK to have more clarity in conveying. The clarity is related to the status and progress in handling the case so that it does not create any kind of rumors in the community," he said.

Saat ini SYL sudah mengundurkan diri dari jabatannya sebagai mentan. Almas mengatakan, hal itu membuat masyarakat speculasi SYL memang sudah ditetapkan sebagai tersangka.
