JAKARTA - Former spokesman for the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Febri Diansyah said he was disappointed with the decision of the KPK Supervisory Board.

This was conveyed in response to the work of the Supervisory Board which stated that they had not found sufficient evidence of alleged ethical violations committed by the KPK leadership during the implementation of the National Insight Test (TWK).

Febri said the hope that the KPK Supervisory Board would be able to carry out surveillance faded after the decision was read out.

"Goodbye the KPK Supervisory Board... Our hope and trust have faded," he said, quoted from his Twitter account @febridiansyah, Friday, July 23.

The anti-corruption activist said that the KPK Council actually has one important task, namely supervision. However, the performance of Tumpak Hatorangan et al was disappointing.

"After the Constitutional Court's decision, licensing duties in the Supervisory Board have been cancelled. After that, the Duties of the Council are only 1: SUPERVISION. But even that is very disappointing," he said.

Seeing this condition, he feels that the KPK Supervisory Board can no longer be expected to carry out maximum supervision of the performance of the anti-corruption commission.

"Can't hope anymore.. The last drop of hope has dried up," he said.

Previously, the KPK Supervisory Board said that it would not hold an ethics session for alleged ethical violations against the KPK leadership regarding the implementation of TWK. This is because they did not find sufficient evidence.

In addition, the council also assessed that the employee's report regarding the alleged violation, which consisted of seven materials, was not basic and unclear. Including, related to the insertion of the TWK implementation rules that were allegedly carried out by KPK Chair Firli Bahuri.

The findings of the KPK Supervisory Board are different from the results of the work of the Indonesian Ombudsman which was submitted last Wednesday, July 21.

According to the Ombudsman, the insertion of the paragraph on the implementation of the TWK occurred when the commission's regulations were being discussed. This is because this clause only appeared on January 25, 2021 or the day before the last harmonization meeting.

Even though the meeting to draft the commission's regulations has taken place since August 2020. "The emergence of the TWK clause is a form of insertion of a verse. The appearance of a new paragraph and it appears in the last months of this process," said Robert at a press conference to deliver the final results of the examination of KPK employee complaints which was broadcast. online, Wednesday, July 21.
