JAKARTA - Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement, Ali Fikri, said that his party respects the report of the Deputy Chairperson of the KPK, Alexander Marwata, made by Novel Baswedan and colleagues to the Supervisory Board for allegedly violating the code of ethics. He said that reporting is the right of all parties.

"Reports or complaints to the KPK Council can be made by anyone and this is the right of all parties," Ali told reporters on Monday, August 23.

His party, continued Ali, fully handed over to the KPK Supervisory Board regarding this reporting, including the follow-up. He said he would not interfere or intervene.

"KPK respects and believes in the professionalism and independence of the Council in examining and deciding every complaint it receives," said Ali.

It was previously reported that KPK Deputy Chairman Alexander Marwata was reported to be a KPK employee who was part of Team 57 to the Supervisory Board. The report on the alleged violation of ethics relates to a press conference containing defamation or insults to 51 inactive employees on May 25.

At that time, Alex was suspected of violating the code of ethics because he made a statement "...while the 51 people returned from the assessor, it was already red in color and it was not possible for coaching to be carried out...". The statement is considered to have harmed the KPK employees.

The act is alleged to have violated the code of ethics and code of conduct of KPK personnel, namely the basic values of justice, Article 6 Paragraph (2) Letter d; Article 6 Paragraph (1) Letter a; Article 8 Paragraph (2) and Article 4 Paragraph (1) Letter c; The report on the alleged ethical violation was submitted by seven employees representing 57 KPK employees on August 18, 2021.
