JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo said the selection of a replacement figure for former chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Firli Bahuri who was dismissed is currently still in process.

"Everything is still in process," said President Jokowi, Saturday, December 30.

President Joko Widodo said Firli Bahuri's replacement process was carried out in accordance with applicable regulations.

Article 33 of Law Number 19 of 2019 concerning the KPK states that in the event of a vacancy in the KPK leadership, the President submits a candidate for replacement member to the DPR.

The replacement member as referred to was chosen from the Corruption KPK candidate who was previously not elected in the DPR, as long as it still meets the requirements as stipulated.

A member of the replacement for the leadership of the Corruption Eradication Commission as referred to, continued the remaining term of office of the Corruption Eradication Commission leadership who was replaced.

Based on ANTARA's records, there were five names of candidates for KPK leadership who were previously not elected in the process of selecting the KPK leadership in the DPR in 2019, namely (ordered from the acquisition of votes), Sigit Danang Joyo, Luthfi Jayadi Kurniawan, I Nyoman Wara, Johanes Tanak and Roby Arya Brata.

Because Johanes Tanak had previously been chosen to replace KPK leader Lili Pintauli Siregar, there are only four names left to consider to replace Firli Bahuri, namely Sigit Danang Joyo, Luthfi Jayadi Kurniawan, I Nyoman Wara, and Roby Arya Brata.
