JAKARTA - Secretary General of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Cahya H. Harefa said the cut in revenue of the Deputy Chairperson of the KPK, Nurul Ghufron, would be carried out starting in early October. The income will be reduced by 20 percent according to the decision of the KPK Supervisory Board.

"The decision of the KPK Council is as of October 1, October 1," Cahya told reporters quoted on Saturday, September 28.

The KPK Supervisory Board stated that Nurul Ghufron violated ethics because he abused his authority behind the mutation of the ASN Ministry of Agriculture (Kementan) named Andi Dwi Mandasari (ADM). He used his influence to contact Kasdi Subagyono as Secretary General and concurrently Acting Inspector General of the Ministry of Agriculture.

Ghufron was then sentenced to moderate sanctions in the form of a written warning by the KPK Supervisory Board for violating Article 4 paragraph 2 letter a of Perdewas Number 3 of 2021. His income was also cut by 20 percent for six months.

"There are a lot of income. So it's not just salaries. Here there is income. That's a lot of income. Basic salary, job allowances. This is all income," said Chairman of the KPK Supervisory Board Tumpak Hatorangan Panggabean at a press conference at the ACLC KPK building, Rasuna Said, South Jakarta, Friday, September 6.

Even so, Tumpak admitted that he did not know very well how much. "Later you will ask the secretary general. It is the Secretary General who knows that, how much does a leader earn at the KPK. This is official income, yes. Not an unofficial one," he said.
