JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said it was conducting a study regarding its position in the Danantara BPI structure. A number of aspects will be seen for follow-up.
"It is said that the effectiveness of the committee will be reviewed, that's it. Yes, to what extent are the interests, yes, then benefits and others," said KPK Chairman Setyo Budiyanto to reporters at the ACLC building of the KPK RI, Rasuna Said, South Jakarta, Tuesday, May 20.
"... And from there a decision will be made to be made after going through the assessment process," he continued.
Setyo said this study was also carried out considering that Article 29 letter (i) stated that the head of the anti-corruption commission should not hold concurrent positions. "So it means that the assessment is carried out comprehensively, yes," said the former Director of KPK Investigation.
As for this study, Setyo said, it was carried out by the Legal Bureau Team and the Secretary General of the KPK. The input of all parties will also be heard.
The results of this study will later serve as the next KPK guideline. Including, the possibility of resigning from that position.
"That's why once again, back to my affirmation at the last time that the effectiveness of that position will be studied," said Setyo.
"It illustrates that if it is not appropriate and so on, we will make sure what it looks like. However, the KPK will also not leave it alone. It is possible that it will continue to carry out the mentoring process because we have a preventive position, yes, to then coordinate, collaborate with the previous parties to keep it on track," explained the former Inspector General of the Ministry of Agriculture (Kementan).
Meanwhile, Deputy Chairperson of the KPK Johanis Tanak agreed that his party's existence in the Danantara BPI structure hit the rules. "Based on Article 29 letter (i) it is clear that the KPK leadership cannot hold concurrent positions," Johanis said when contacted by VOI via text message.
Johanis said in the article, the KPK leadership must fulfill several requirements. One of them is to give up other positions during his tenure.
