JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Alexander Marwata denied that the relationship between the leadership and the KPK Supervisory Board was heating up because KPK Deputy Chair Nurul Ghufron reported Albertina Ho, who is a member of the supervisory board. He said his colleagues were only carrying out their obligations.

"If there is a problem of reporting, there is also an obligation of every KPK personnel when they find out there is a violation of the code of ethics. Now, it's a report," said Alexander Marwata at the KPK ACLC Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Thursday, April 25.

"So every KPK personnel, who are KPK personnel? All employees are allowed to report the leadership, the leadership may report that the leader can report the council. Dewas can report it to the council. So that's just normative," he continued.

Alexander believes this report will not be addressed personally either. He made himself an example.

Alexander said he still came to the supervisory board office even though it was reported. "If the leader versus my adult doesn't come today," he said.

So, he made sure there was no heated relationship due to the report submitted by Ghufron to Albertina. After all, his colleague reported on personal initiative.

"Nothing (versus, ed). I am fine with the five members of the council. There is no problem," said Alexander.

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.

"As a member of the KPK, I 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 is obliged to 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.
