JAKARTA - KPK Deputy Chair Nurul Ghufron claimed his colleague, Alexander Marwata, had also assisted in the mutation of the problematic state civil apparatus (ASN). This reason made him ask for input from the deputy chairman of the anti-corruption commission.

This was conveyed when he explained the case of alleged abuse of authority, causing him to be tried ethically by the KPK Supervisory Board today, Thursday, May 2. Ghufron admitted that he was willing to help with the problem after hearing a complaint from a friend who is the father-in-law of an employee of the Ministry of Agriculture (Kementan) whose mutation has not been granted.

"Receiving such complaints, I immediately discussed with other leaders, namely Mr. Alex (Alexander Marwata). Mr. Alex then told me that it was permissible because Mr. Alex told me several other cases that he said 'I've been like that.' That's from Mr. Alex," Ghufron told reporters at the KPK's Red and White House, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Thursday, April 2.

Quoting Alexander's narrative, Ghufron claimed to be able to provide assistance. As long as the employee submitting the request for the mutation meets the predetermined requirements.

Ghufron then looked for various information and claimed the employee met the requirements. "Only then after fulfilling the requirements I conveyed to Mr. Alex, 'if the provisions meet the requirements, Mr. Alex'," he said.

Furthermore, Alexander is said to be willing to help him find the phone number of the former Secretary General of the Ministry of Agriculture Kasdi, who at that time was still serving as Inspector General of the Ministry of Agriculture. Ghufron then contacted Kasdi and conveyed the complaint he received from the mother-in-law of an ASN in-law at the Ministry of Agriculture.

"After getting the number, I conveyed it, and my submission was not then asking whether the transfer was granted or not, but conveying the complaint was inconsistent," said Ghufron.

"He (Kasdi, ed) then responded, 'good, sir, we'll check first'... Only then about 2-3 weeks later did he say that he met the requirements and the mutation could be processed," he explained.

Furthermore, Ghufron said that he often talked with Alexander rather than the head of the anti-corruption commission. Because, the two often come together in the morning.

"We come this morning, usually the earliest.... So when I don't have a meeting I usually chat with Mr. Alex," he concluded.
