Tia Rahmania no longer meets the requirements to become a member of the DPR because she is dismissed from party members," wrote a statement on the list of elected candidates displayed on the KPU website.

Tia's previous name became a conversation because she interrupted Deputy Chair Nurul Ghufron. He mentioned about the ethical violations he committed because he took advantage of his position.

This moment occurred when Ghufron gave anti-corruption material during a briefing event for members of the DPR and DPD held by the National Resilience Institute (Lemhanas) on Monday, September 23.

He was interrupted when explaining three types of corruption, namely petty corruption, grand corruption, and political corruption or state capture corruption.

Hearing this, Tia, who wore a jacket bearing the KPK logo, then interrupted and Ghufron gave her the opportunity to speak. The elected legislator from the Banten I electoral district admitted that he had an inner conflict while listening to the presentation given.

"Why don't I open this jacket? Because the KPK is the institution founded by the 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia, our general chairman. The honorable Mr. Nurul Ghufron, rather than you talking about theories like this, we all know that the country is not doing well," Tia said as quoted from YouTube. Lemhannas, Tuesday, September 24.

Tia then brought up the newly decided ethical case of Ghufron. "It's better if you talk about your case, how can you pass the council of ethics, then the PTUN is successful. How do you provide recommendations to ASN, how can other cases of you pass," he said.

For information, Ghufron has just been decided to violate ethics by the KPK Supervisory Board. He is suspected of using his authority to deal with the mutation of an employee at the Ministry of Agriculture (Kementan).

"I'm sorry, you are not our product. Corruption is essentially ethics and moral, sir," said Tia.

Tia then closed her statement because she was asked by the committee to respect the ongoing forum. This legislator then died of the activity.

Finding this interruption, Ghufron admitted that he had no problem with the criticism leveled at him in the open forum. However, he did not respond because Tia left first.

"I'll answer it later, ma'am. If you ask questions, of course I will answer, but don't go out. Because asking questions, but not inside I will not answer," said Ghufron.
