"Unfortunately there is no former KPK leader as a member of the Pansel," said Alexander Marwata when contacted by reporters, Thursday, May 30.

Alexander respects the figure that President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has chosen through a Presidential Decree (Keppres). However, he assessed that the former head of the anti-corruption commission could provide an overview of the leadership needed.

"Even though if there is one, it can provide an overview of what kind of Capim KPK is needed. So that efforts to eradicate corruption are led by the right people," he said.

As previously reported, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has signed the Presidential Decree (Keppres) of the Capim Pansel and the KPK Supervisory Board. Head of the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) Muhammad Yusuf Ateh was appointed as chairman.
