JAKARTA - The ethics board of the Supervisory Board of the Corruption Eradication Commission (Dewas KPK) sentenced the inactive KPK chairman Firli Bahuri to severe sanctions. Firli was found guilty and proven guilty of violating the code of ethics so he had to resign from the KPK.

"Imposing severe sanctions to the Examined (Firli Bahuri) in the form of being asked to submit his resignation as chairman of the KPK," said the Chairman of the KPK Council, Tumpak Hatorangan Panggabean, when reading the decision of Firli Bahuri's ethics trial at the ACLC KPK building, Jakarta, December 27.

There were 3 violations of the code of ethics committed by the inactive KPK chairman Firli Bahuri, namely:

1. Meeting with Syahrul Yasin Limpo Who Was Not Reported

Firli Bahuri was legally proven to have had a meeting with the Minister of Agriculture Syahrul Yasin Limpo either directly or indirectly, where the meeting was not reported to the KPK leadership so it was suspected that it was full of personal interests.

"Not informing fellow leaders about the meeting and communication with Syahrul Yasin Limpo which he had implemented which allegedly caused a conflict of interest," said Tumpak.

2. Not Honest Filling Out LHKPN

The second violation of the code of ethics was that Firli Bahuri was dishonest in filling out the State Administrators Wealth Report (LHKPN).

"The second is related to assets, foreign exchange, including buildings and assets that are not reported in the LHKPN. This is also an act that does not provide an example as a KPK leader," said Tumpak.

According to Tumpak, a KPK leader should set an example and must set a good example within the KPK.

3. Rental House Elite In Kertanegara

The third violation of the code of ethics is related to the rental of elite houses on Jalan Kertanegara, Number 46, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta.

"The third concerns the failure to honestly report assets in the LHKPN, these three things," explained Tumpak.

Dewas assessed that Firli was dishonest regarding the halfway house he rented worth Rp. 650 million per year rented by Fitri for 2 years.

Tumpak emphasized that the decision of the KPK Council regarding the verdict for violating the Firli Bahuri code of ethics was final, there was no appeal and no cassation.

Firli Bahuri was declared to have violated Article 4 paragraph 2 letter a or Article 4 paragraph 1 letter j and Article 8 letter e of the KPK Council Regulation Number 3 of 2021 concerning Enforcement of the KPK Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct.
