JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Nurul Ghufron canceled his defense before the KPK Supervisory Board (Dewas) today, Friday, May 17. As a result, the alleged ethical trial related to the alleged abuse of authority that ensnared him had to be postponed. It is known that Ghufron was tried ethically because he was suspected of helping to manage the mutation of an employee at the Ministry of Agriculture (Kementan). “NG was not present. The trial was postponed, ” KPK Supervisory Board Member Syamsuddin Haris told reporters when confirmed, Friday, May 17. Syamsuddin did not want to talk much about Ghufron's absence. He only said that the defense to be read had not been prepared. "Pak NG asks for time to prepare a defense," he said. As previously reported, the KPK Supervisory Board held an ethics trial against the Deputy Chairperson of the KPK, Nurul Ghufron, on Tuesday, May 14. This process was carried out because he was suspected of abusing his authority in dealing with the mutation of an employee of the Ministry of Agriculture (Kementan). During the trial, six witnesses were summoned and questioned. Among them were KPK Deputy Chair Alexander Marwata and Ministry of Agriculture employees who were assisted with the mutation. The employee whose mutation was assisted by Ghufron was his friend's son-in-law. He admitted that he was moved because of a sense of humanity and the process was unfair.

Because, when the employee submits a refusal mutation, it is carried out on the grounds of a shortage of human resources (HR). However, the employee was allowed to resign when submitting.
