JAKARTA - The KPK Supervisory Board has clarified its members, Albertina Ho, after receiving a report from the Deputy Chairperson of the KPK, Nurul Ghufron. KPK Supervisory Board member Syamsuddin Haris said his colleagues had explained the chronology regarding the coordination carried out with the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK). "Regarding the NG report, Dewas has asked for clarification from Mrs. AH and Mrs. AH to provide clarification and chronology to the KPK Council," said Syamsuddin to reporters in a written statement, Wednesday, April 24. Syamsuddin also ensured that coordination with the PPATK in question Ghufron was known to the chairman and other members. Moreover, Albertina acted as the person in charge to investigate the alleged ethical violation of the prosecutor with the initials IT, who was reported to have blackmailed witnesses of up to Rp. 3 billion. "So, the KPK Council considers this report unreasonable. “ The point is, Mrs. AH coordinates with PPATK in the context of carrying out her duties because she is a PIC or person in charge of ethical issues in the Dewas,” he said. "I also don't understand why Mr. NG reported Mrs. AH,”" he continued. Furthermore, Syamsuddin hopes that this report will not be related to the alleged ethical violation of Ghufron which is being handled by the KPK Council. He ensured that this report would not stop their steps to investigate the abuse of influence for the transfer of employees of the Ministry of Agriculture (Kementan). "“ Hopefully (the report against Albertina, ed) is not because currently Mr. NG itself has an ethical case that is being handled by the Council regarding the alleged abuse of influence as a KPK member in the mutation of an employee of the Ministry of Agriculture with the initials ADM,” he said.

As previously reported, the Deputy Chairperson of the KPK, Nurul Ghufron, reported one member of the supervisory board to the KPK Supervisory Board. He suspects there is abuse of authority. "I, as a member of the KPK, have an obligation as stipulated in Article 4 paragraph (2) letter b of Perdewas No. 3 of 2021 states: in implementing the basic values of integrity, every member of the Commission must report if they know of any alleged ethical violations committed by the Commission Personnel," said Nurul Ghufron to reporters in a written statement, Wednesday, April 24. Ghufron said the alleged abuse of authority reported was in the form of a request for the results of the analysis of financial transactions of anti-corruption commission employees. He said the KPK Council was not authorized because it was not law enforcement officials.
