JAKARTA - Member of the Supervisory Board of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Syamsuddin Haris said his party had received a report submitted by former investigators Novel Baswedan and Rizka Anungnata. However, the allegation will not be followed up because it is still vague or unclear.

"All reports of complaints of alleged ethical violations that are still vague will not be followed up by the Council," Haris told reporters, Friday, October 22.

He said this report was stale because it did not explain what ethical violations were committed by Lili.

The reporters, continued Haris, should include evidence in the form of the contents of the communication clearly so that the KPK Council can follow up.

"It must be clear what the facts were, when it was carried out, who the witnesses were, what was the initial evidence," he said.

"If it is reported that LPS communicated with the 2020 Pilkada contestants in North Labuhanbatu (Labura) Regency, it must be clear what the contents of the communication allegedly violated the ethics of," added Haris.

Previously reported, Novel and Rizka Anungnata reported Lili Pintauli Siregar to the KPK Supervisory Board. Both reported the Deputy Chairperson of the KPK on suspicion of violating ethics because he had communicated with one of the contestants for the North Labuhanbatu Pilkada (Labura), namely Darno.

"In addition to being involved in the handling of the Tanjungbalai case, the LPS as the reported party is also involved in several other cases, namely those related to the North Labuhanbatu case which we were handling as investigators," Novel said in a report letter to the KPK Council.

In that communication, Darno allegedly asked Lili to speed up the detention of the Regent of Labura Khairuddin Syah who had been named a suspect by the KPK before the 2020 Pilkada began. At that time, Khairuddin again ran as a candidate for incumbent.

"Where this fact was conveyed by the suspect Khairuddin Syah to the reporter at that time. Khairuddin also told the reporter that he had evidence in the form of photos of the meeting between the reported and Darno's brother," Novel said.
