KPK Leaders Violating Ethics, Council: It's Difficult For Us To Anticipate

Chairman of the KPK Supervisory Board Tumpak Hatorangan Panggabean (ANTARA)

JAKARTA - Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Tumpak Hatorangan Panggabean said he could not do much when the KPK leadership resigned amid allegations of ethical violations. It is known, there were two leaders of the anti-corruption commission who resigned when they were suspected of violating ethics. They are Lili Pintauli Siregar and Firli Bahuri. Lili resigned when the KPK Supervisory Board was about to hear allegations of ethical violations because she received gratuities in the form of accommodation and Mandalika MotoGP tickets from PT Pertamina (Persero). As Firli resigned after she was decided to violate ethics because she met the litigants, namely former Minister of Agriculture Syahrul Yasin Limpo... "It's hard for us to anticipate this, because the one who raised and dismissed the KPK leadership was the president," said Tumpak to reporters as quoted from the KPK RI YouTube show, Tuesday, January 16. "Tumpak said that when the president had accepted his resignation and issued a decision, the leadership had officially stopped. So, the KPK Council could not do much, one of them processed the alleged ethical violations that occurred.. "As happened in LPS. If Firli Bahuri has not yet left his Presidential Decree, we have already made a decision," he said.

As for employees, different stories can happen. The reason is that only the Secretary General of the KPK as the decision-making official (PPK) can decide. "But if the leader can't," he concluded.
