JAKARTA - The Indonesian Anti-Corruption Society (MAKI) appreciates the performance of the Supervisory Board of the Corruption Eradication Commission (Dewas KPK) because it still decided on Firli Bahuri's Ethics trial even though he had resigned. MAKI Coordinator Boyamin Saiman said that the actions taken by the Council had maintained the honor of the KPK Council. "I also appreciate it, and I state that this way Marwah Dewas is still maintained," said Boyamin at the ACLC KPK building, Kuningan, South Jakarta, Friday, December 22. However, Boyamin hopes that the KPK Council will immediately read out the results of the trial verdict for alleged ethical violations of Firli Bahuri before the Presidential Decree is issued or the Presidential Decree. "But the main thing, earlier I asked the Council, because I was given the opportunity to say something, was that I asked for it to be decided today. So there is no need to wait for tomorrow. Because this is quickly losing to the Presidential Decree. If the Presidential Decree means that later (Firli) is no longer an employee of the KPK," said Boyamin. Because, according to Boyamin, Firli yesterday had declared his resignation from the Chairman of the KPK. MAKI is worried that the ethics process will be stopped. MAKI also reminded about the Lili Pintauli case, which also resigned as Deputy Chair of the KPK so that the ethics process would be stopped. As previously reported, the chairman of the KPK Council, Tumpak Hatorangan Panggabean, said that the series of all code of ethics sessions allegedly violated by the inactive KPK chairman Firli Bahuri had been completed. "That the trial has been completed, we have closed the trial," said Tumpak separately. Although the results of Firli's code of ethics trial have been decided and discussed by all KPK Councils.

However, for the reading, said Tumpak, it will be read Wednesday, December 27, because it is necessary to make a written letter.
