JAKARTA - Novel Baswedan questioned the attitude of the Supervisory Board of the Corruption Eradication Commission (Dewas KPK) which rejected its report regarding alleged ethical violations by commissioner Lili Pintauli Siregar.

KPK Deputy Chairman Lili Pintauli reported Novel Baswedan to the KPK Council for allegedly communicating with contestants in the North Labuhanbatu (Labura) Pilkada.

"Why refuse the report, do you want to monitor or protect it?" so quoted from his tweet on his Twitter account @nazaqistha on Monday, October 25.

According to Novel, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Council should supervise and investigate alleged violations by the KPK leaders and employees. In addition, they should be able to find evidence if there are reports of ethical violations that come in.

"Or ask the reporter for evidence," said Novel. Previously, 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 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.

On this report, the KPK Supervisory Board confirmed that it would not take any follow-up actions. The reason is that this report is not clear and vague.

The summary of this report is based on the fact that there is no definite explanation of what ethical violation Lili did. In addition, the reporters also did not include evidence in the form of the contents of the communication clearly for the KPK Council to follow up.
