JAKARTA - Former investigator of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Yudi Purnomo assessed that KPK Deputy Chair Nurul Ghufron should resign from his position after reporting KPK Supervisory Board member Albertina Ho to the KPK Supervisory Board. He is considered to be making a lot of noise.

It is known, Ghufron reported KPK Supervisory Board member Albertina Ho to the KPK Supervisory Board for allegedly abusing his authority after coordinating with the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK). In addition, he also filed a lawsuit at the Jakarta State Administrative Court (PTUN).

"The KPK's credibility and dignity are decreasing in the eyes of the public. So as a moral responsibility, Nurul Gufron to resign from the KPK leadership due to the controversy he did," said Yudi in a written statement, Friday, April 26.

Yudi regretted that the anti-corruption commission was again in the spotlight because of the behavior of his leadership. He said, Ghufron should focus on attending the ethics trial for alleged abuse of authority related to employee mutations at the Ministry of Agriculture (Kementan) to ensnare him on May 2, instead of reporting here and there.

Moreover, the coordination carried out by the KPK Council with PPATK to investigate allegations of ethical violations by the TI prosecutor with the initials who extorted witnesses of up to Rp3 billion. "Instead of just surrendering to the trial and of course, it will be given the opportunity to defend yourself, instead reporting one of the members of the KPK Council who is on duty and working," he said.

In addition, Nurul Gufron also sued the Administrative Court regarding his ethical case that had expired because it had been 1 year. This further shows to the public that Nurul Gufron wants to save himself from the alleged ethical case that ensnared him," continued the former chairman of the KPK Forum.

As previously reported, the Deputy Chairperson of the KPK, Nurul Ghufron, said that his report to the members of the KPK Council, Albertina Ho, was to the KPK Supervisory Board because he saw an ethical violation. He doesn't care if other parties think otherwise.

"It's our obligation to enforce ethics by obliging to report it," Ghufron told reporters, Thursday, April 25.

"Every member of the KPK enforces the values of integrity and is asked to report it," he continued, saying that he had handed over the entire process to the Supervisory Board.
