JAKARTA - Member of the Supervisory Board of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Albertina Ho said the handling of alleged ethical violations by KPK Deputy Chair Lili Pintauli Siregar had entered the clarification stage. In addition, the collection of evidence of alleged violations is also being carried out.

"Currently, it is in the clarification stage by examining witnesses. In addition, the team is also gathering evidence but cannot provide witness statements and so on," said Albertina in an online press conference, Thursday, June 24.

From the examination and collection of evidence, he continued, a clarification report will be made. Next, the report will be brought to a preliminary examination by the KPK Supervisory Board.

"According to Perdewas (Council Regulation) Number 3 of 2020, later in the preliminary examination it will be decided whether there is sufficient evidence to proceed to the ethics trial," said Albertina.

 

As previously reported, KPK Deputy Chair Lili Pintauli Siregar admitted to waiting for the supervisory board's call to provide clarification regarding alleged ethical violations.

This was conveyed in relation to the reporting carried out by two KPK investigators Novel Baswedan and Rizka Anungnata and the former Director of the Development of the KPK Inter-Commission and Institutional Network (PJKAKI) Sujanarko last week.

"Because the file is already with the council, we are just waiting for the process from the council to carry out the clarification process," said Lili in a press conference broadcast on the KPK RI YouTube, Monday, June 14.

Lili was reported to the KPK Supervisory Board for two alleged ethical violations. First, she allegedly contacted and informed the handling of the alleged corruption case that ensnared the Mayor of Tanjungbalai M Syahrial.

Where this case is suspected to be related to the sale and purchase of positions in the Tanjungbalai Provincial Government, the anti-corruption commission is investigating.

For this action, Lili is suspected of violating the principle of integrity, namely Article 4 paragraph (2) letter a, Regulation of the Indonesian KPK Supervisory Board Number 2 of 2020 concerning Enforcement of the KPK Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct. This article reads:

"KPK personnel are prohibited from having direct or indirect relationships with suspects, defendants, convicts, or other parties who are related to cases of criminal acts of corruption whose cases are known to be being handled by the Commission except in the context of carrying out their duties and with the knowledge of the leadership or direct superiors."

While the second suspicion, Lili is said to have used her position as the head of the KPK with the aim of pressuring the Mayor of Tanjungbalai Syahrial. This was done to settle the staffing affairs of her sister-in-law Ruri Prihatini Lubis at the Tirta Kualo Tanjungbalai Drinking Water Company.

For this allegation, she is suspected of violating the principle of integrity in Article 4 paragraph (2) letter b, Regulation of the Indonesian KPK Supervisory Board Number 2 of 2020 concerning Enforcement of the KPK Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct. This article reads:

"KPK personnel are prohibited from abusing their position and/or authority, including abusing their influence as a member of the Commission, both in carrying out their duties and personal interests."
