JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said that the resistance of its deputy chairman, Nurul Ghufron, to the ethical process carried out by the KPK Supervisory Board had an institutional impact. However, they cannot do much because what is happening at this time is a personal decision.

"Institutionally, yes, this clearly erodes the reputation of the KPK. On the other hand, yes," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters quoted on Wednesday, May 22.

"But on the other hand, it is also a personal decision from the person concerned. That's right," he continued.

Ali ensured that the anti-corruption commission would not take this kind of step. Because, what Ghufron did actually caused a polemic.

"If this is indeed a very different decision from the KPK, of course and of course we will not do something like that," he said.

As previously reported, the Supervisory Board will decide the fate of the Deputy Chairperson of the KPK, Nurul Ghufron, who is suspected of committing an ethical violation for assisting the transfer of employees of the Ministry of Agriculture (Kementan) on Tuesday, May 21. However, the Jakarta State Administrative Court (PTUN) ordered the KPK Supervisory Board to postpone the ethical examination.

"Ordered the defendant to postpone the examination of alleged ethical violations on behalf of the reported Nurul Ghufron," said SIPP PTUN Jakarta, Monday, May 20.

In addition, Ghufron also reported the KPK Supervisory Board to the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police. The report has been carried out since May 6 and there are two articles that are the basis, namely Article 421 of the Criminal Code and Article 310 of the Criminal Code.
