JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed that the report of the Deputy Chairperson of the KPK, Nurul Ghufron, against member of the KPK Council, Albertina Ho, to the KPK Supervisory Board does not interfere with their performance. This step is referred to as a personal decision, not an institution.

"All processes, the agenda at the KPK continues," said KPK spokesman Ali Fikri to reporters quoted on Saturday, April 27.

"We will carry out relations, both in the deputy for prosecution, in the corsup and in the investigation, we will also carry out it," he continued.

Ali said the anti-corruption commission would not be affected by various polemics because they already have a system. So, he believes that the targets will continue.

"Because the KPK is a system, a system continues so that programs continue to run," he said.

As previously reported, KPK Deputy Chair Nurul 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).

Albertina personally suspects that the report was carried out because Ghufron stumbled on an ethical violation of his abuse of authority related to the transfer of employees at the Ministry of Agriculture (Kementan) which will be tried on May 2.

Meanwhile, Ghufron submitted the assessment to the public. He only said that the reporting and lawsuits were made because he saw an ethical violation.

"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," continued Ghufron, saying that he had handed over the entire process to the Supervisory Board.
