JAKARTA - Member of the Supervisory Board of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Harjono said KPK Deputy Chair Nurul Ghufron did not know employees whose mutations were rejected by the Ministry of Agriculture (Kementan).

This was conveyed by Harjono after the KPK Council held an ethics trial for alleged abuse of authority by Nurul Ghufron today, Tuesday, May 14. The Ministry of Agriculture ASN, which was assisted by the deputy chairman of the anti-corruption commission, was presented via video conference connection.

"I asked (at the trial, ed) I didn't really know. Regarding the information, Mr. Ghufron himself did not know who knew it was the mother-in-law of the transferred (employee, red)," said Harjono to reporters at the ACLC KPK Building, Rasuna Said, Jakarta.

Ghufron is said to be friends with the employee's in-laws. Meanwhile, when asked about whether there was any receipt, Harjono did not want to answer more.

"Nothing is said (about acceptance in the transfer effort, ed)," he said.

Furthermore, the KPK Supervisory Board will again hold an ethics trial on Thursday and Friday. They will still hear the testimony of witnesses.

"If Friday is listening to Pak Ghufron's defense," said Harjono

Next, Harjono said, the KPK Supervisory Board will determine the fate of Ghufron. It is possible that the process will run next week.

"If it's fast, yes, it can be done (next week it will be decided, ed)," he said.

As previously reported, the KPK Supervisory Board decided to try the Deputy Chairperson of the KPK, Nurul Ghufron, for allegedly abusing his authority. He is suspected of dealing with the mutation of an employee of the Ministry of Agriculture (Kementan).

In this alleged ethical violation, the KPK Supervisory Board has pocketed a number of evidences. Including information from related parties, such as former Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) Syahrul Yasin Limpo.

The trial on Tuesday, May 14 was carried out after the KPK Council postponed because Ghufron was not present on Thursday, May 2. The reason is that he is filing a lawsuit with the State Administrative Court (PTUN) because he feels that his ethical violation has expired.
