Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Alexander Marwata emphasized that his institution does not need the blessing of any agency, including the National Police when recruiting investigators or investigators.
This was conveyed by Alexander in response to Article 16 Paragraph (1) of the draft or draft revision of the Police Law. There it is written that the rules for the recruitment process for civil servant investigators (PPNS) in ministries/agencies must have a recommendation from the Police.
"KPK does not need to ask for approval from other institutions to appoint investigators or investigators," Alexander said in a written statement quoted on Tuesday, June 4.
Alexander said, his institution can appoint investigators and investigators themselves to meet their needs. "Only in training to coordinate with law enforcement officials, it can be the Police or the Attorney General's Office," he said.
He reminded the independence of the anti-corruption commission should not be disturbed. Alexander said that his statement was based on the KPK Law.
"One thing that cannot be disturbed is the issue of KPK independence as regulated in Article 3 of the KPK Law," explained Alexander.
"Independence, among other things, concerns the recruitment of investigators or investigators," he continued.

Furthermore, Alexander asked that the rules contained in the KPK Law should not be reversed. This is because the anti-corruption commission even has the authority to oversee the work of other law enforcement officers.
"In handling corruption, it is the KPK which is given the authority by law to supervise the performance of other APHs," he said.
"So don't turn it around," concluded Alexander.
