JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) invites the public to pay more attention to the candidate for leadership and the KPK Supervisory Board, which is currently being verified by the selection committee. In fact, they were asked to inform if there were figures who were deemed problematic.

"If there are candidates who according to the public need special attention, I think the public can convey this to the Pansel as a consideration," said KPK Spokesperson Tessa Mahardika to reporters quoted Wednesday, July 17.

Tessa said her agency would also not interfere with the ongoing process of the Capim Pansel and the KPK Council. Including, asking to cross out certain names.

This was conveyed by Tessa referring to the 2019 incident when hundreds of anti-corruption commission employees asked Firli Bahuri to be dropped as a Capim. At that time, he was rejected because he was considered problematic even though he was still elected and finally resigned because he was dragged away by the extortion of former Agriculture Minister Syahrul Yasin Limpo.

"The KPK has not recommended or did not recommend candidates (certainly, ed) because we both know that until now, there has been no official release from the committee of anyone (who passed the document verification process, ed)," said the spokesman with the investigator's background.

"Of course we just respect the process (which is running, red)," continued Tessa.
