Previously reported, Deputy Chairperson of the KPK Nurul Ghufron will be tried on ethics because he is suspected of communicating with the Ministry of Agriculture (Kementan) regarding employee mutations on Thursday, May 2. The KPK Council decided that the trial was held because it had a number of evidences, including information from related parties such as former Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) Syahrul Yasin Limpo. However, because Ghufron was not present, the KPK Council postponed and the trial was held again on May 14.

Ghufron's absence was caused by filing a lawsuit with the State Administrative Court (PTUN). He claimed that the alleged ethics committed could not be followed up by the KPK Council because it had expired. This is because this act occurred in March 2022 and was only followed up after a report was made in December 2023.
