JAKARTA - The interim chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Nawawi Pomolongo responded to questions from DPR Commission III member Benny K Harman regarding the fate of Firli Bahuri. Benny said that the chairman of the KPK has now just disappeared.

Firli Bahuri resigned after being declared a suspect in the alleged extortion case against the former Minister of Agriculture, Syahrul Yasin Limpo (SYL) by Polda Metro Jaya.

According to Nawawi, Benny's question should not be addressed to the KPK leadership who is currently in office.

"Not asking the KPK, but asking the official who handles the affairs of the person concerned (Firli Bahuri, ed), not us, to the KPK that question," said Nawawi, Monday, July 1.

Even if you want to ask the KPK, according to Nawawi, the right question is how the KPK took steps against Firli Bahuri as chairman who stumbled on a legal case.

"The question should not be like that, but what is the next step towards the old chairman," said Nawawi.

Previously, Member of Commission III of the DPR Benny K Harman questioned the fate of the previous KPK chairman, Firli Bahuri, who according to him just disappeared.

Benny raised this question when he highlighted the problems that have been in the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) recently.

Benny also asked the KPK ranks, one of which was the chairman of the KPK, while Nawawi Pomolango, to explain this.

"Please explain what is wrong with the Chairman of the KPK? Explain that. Explain to the public, not to us, to the public so that the public knows. Don't let it go, what's wrong? The public doesn't know what's going on in this KPK. The chairman of the KPK just disappeared, the period just disappeared," asked Benny in a working meeting of the KPK with Commission III of the DPR, Monday, July 1.

The Democrat politician also mentioned the KPK leadership who reported members of the supervisory board (Dewas). Then there was the KPK leadership who arbitrarily resigned after being declared to have violated the code of ethics.

Benny also questioned the power of the KPK, which he said was now fragile. Because it does not process its commissioners who violate ethics and corruption.

"Second, there are members of the KPK leadership, yes, reporting to members of the Council, yes. The KPK leadership is here, what is it? Is the KPK so fragile? It used to be there, the KPK leadership who was declared to have violated the code of ethics. Then, it's okay for him to resign, you know that," said Benny.
