JAKARTA - The chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will certainly not attend the summons of the KPK Supervisory Board (Dewas) for questioning regarding alleged ethical violations related to his meeting with former Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) Syahrul Yasin Limpo on Wednesday, November 8.

Head of the News Section Ali Fikri said Firli was still in Aceh to take part in the Anti-Corruption Bus Roadshow and the World Anti-Corruption Day (Hakordia) series. The activity began today, Monday, November 6.

"This is busy outside activities because there was a preparation for the bus roadshow and then also Hakordia," Ali told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, November 6.

Ali has not been able to specify when Firli will fulfill the summons of the KPK Council. This is because the former Deputy for Enforcement of the KPK will still carry out activities in other areas.

"Later next week in Papua there will also be activities, including I will also go there, to Papua for the Anti-Corruption Bus Roadshow and Hakordia activities," he said.

Previously reported, the KPK Council clarified the KPK leadership, namely Nurul Ghufron, Johanis Tanak and Alexander Marwata. Of the three, they were investigated about the alleged extortion related to the handling of the alleged corruption case at the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture.

"In general, related to allegations of extortion and clarification related to photos, that's all the questions are. Regarding the extortion, I don't know what happened," said Alex at the ACLC Building, Rasuna Said, South Jakarta, Monday, October 30.

Meanwhile, KPK Chairman Firli has not yet been examined by the KPK Council. He asked for a postponement until November 8 without giving a clear reason even though he was in the office.

Meanwhile, the Deputy Chairperson of the KPK, Nawawi Pomolango, has not been able to provide information because he is sick. The report on alleged ethical violations of the Firli and Syahrul meeting was conveyed by the Law Concerned Student Committee on Friday, October 6.
