JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Alexander Marwata said that the absence of women in the composition of the KPK leadership for the 2024-2029 period was not a problem. He mentioned that this condition had also happened before.

"In the past, there was no first volume, yes, the second volume, if I'm not mistaken, there was no. There was only the fourth volume and the fifth volume. (The last policy, red) was half a period, right," Alexander told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Friday, November 22.

"So there is no problem (with the absence of women in the composition of future leaders, ed)," he continued.

Alexander said that the absence of women would also not interfere with the performance of the KPK. In socializing, for example, one of the leaders to the head of the bureau can go down to the community.

"This means that, right, there may not have to be gender representation, but the campaign program can still be carried out effectively as well," said the former adhoc judge.

Previously reported, Commission III of the DPR appointed the KPK leadership for the period 2024-2029. As chairman was Setyo Budiyanto, who previously served as Inspector General of the Ministry of Agriculture under Andi Amran Sulaiman and had served as Director of KPK Investigations.

Then there were four deputy chairmen who were elected. They are Johanis Tanak, Fitroh Rohcahyantyo, Agus Pramono, and Ibnu Basuki Widodo.

Johanis Tanak currently serves as Deputy Chair of the KPK. Fitroh Rohcahyantyo is set by the prosecutor and has served as Director of Prosecution of the KPK.

Meanwhile, Agus Joko Pramono is the former Deputy Chairman of the BPK Agus Joko Pramono. Then there was Ibnu Basuki, who was a Manado High Court Judge.
