JAKARTA - Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Tumpak Hatorangan Panggabean said his party is still waiting for a replacement for Artidjo Alkostar. The former Chief Justice died some time ago of illness.
"We have conveyed to the president because it will be determined by the president and determined by the president through the Presidential Decree. That's what we've said," Tumpak said in a press conference posted on KPK RI's YouTube account, Thursday, April 8.
Even so, Tumpak does not yet know who will replace his colleague. Because, the process of finding Artidjo's replacement is still ongoing.
"We have not yet obtained the decree and of course it is still being processed at the Secretariat of State. I don't know who the nominee is yet," he said.
He hopes that President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) can make a decision soon. "We feel the sooner the better but we can't push either," he said.
Previously, the KPK Supervisory Board had sent a letter to President Jokowi requesting the search for Artidjo's replacement. This letter was sent about a month ago, precisely on March 2.
Artidjo died on Sunday, February 28, at the age of 72.
"We have made a letter to the President about the vacancy of members of the supervisory board," said Chairman of the Kpk Dewas Tumpak Hatorangan Panggabean in a Hearing Meeting (RDP) with Commission III dpr ri and KPK RI in Nusantara III Building, DPR RI, Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday, March 10.
The submission is made based on Government Regulation No. 4 of 2020 concerning Procedures for Appointment of Members of the Kpk Supervisory Board Article 15 paragraph 2, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees is obliged to convey to the President in the event of a vacancy in the position of a member of the Board of Trustees, no later than three days since the vacancy.
