JAKARTA - Deputy Chairperson of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Lili Pintauli Siregar is supposed to hold an ethics hearing on Tuesday, July 5. However, the KPK Supervisory Board postponed it because Lili actually participated in the second round of the 2022 G20 Anti Corruption Working Group (ACWG) event.

Lili Pintauli is suspected of violating ethics after receiving accommodation and tickets for the Mandalika MotoGP from PT Pertamina (Persero). After getting information obtained from many parties, the ethics trial was carried out before being postponed.

"(Today, Mrs. Lili Pintauli, ed) Not present. Postponed," said KPK Council member Hardjono when contacted, Tuesday, July 5.

Meanwhile, Tumpak Hatorangan Panggabean, chairman of the KPK Supervisory Board, said the ethics session would be held again on Monday, July 11.

"The assembly has postponed the trial to resume on Monday, July 11, 2022 at 10.00 WIB," said Tumpak.

Regarding the delay, Tumpak said that his party had received a letter from the KPK leadership. It was said that Lili was in the middle of an assignment to participate in the ACWG in Nusa Dua, Bali, which took place on 5-8 July.

"There is a letter from the leadership stating that the person concerned is unable to go to Bali to attend the G20," he said.

While her ethics trial was postponed, Lili apparently delivered an anti-corruption message in front of 20 delegates from the G20 countries participating in the ACWG in Nusa Dua, Bali.

There, the former Deputy Chairperson of the Witness and Victim Information Protection Agency (LPSK) said that the role of many parties was needed in eradicating corruption. Moreover, the practice of corruption is an extraordinary and transnational crime.

"Corruption is an extraordinary crime that touches transnational aspects," said Lili in English which was broadcast on the Indonesian KPK's YouTube, Tuesday, July 5.

With this condition, Lili said eradicating corruption requires cooperation from many parties. Not only from the government but also organizations, communities, and individuals.

He emphasized that no single institution could eradicate corruption alone.

"Now, no single organization or country can eradicate corruption without the help of all parties," continued the former deputy head of the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK).

For this reason, the KPK hopes that the G20 delegate countries can have a dialogue to eradicate corruption. Moreover, from this international meeting, it is hoped that recommendations will be made to eradicate irresponsible practices.

"Eradicating corruption requires enthusiasm from many parties, the government, organizations, communities and each individual," he said.

Lili was again reported to the KPK Council for allegedly receiving hotel accommodation facilities and tickets to watch the 2022 MotoGP race at the Mandalika International Circuit, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), from PT Pertamina (Persero).

In dealing with the alleged receipt, the KPK has collected materials and information from related parties, including the state-owned company. President Director of PT Pertamina (Persero) Nicke Widyawati has also been examined some time ago and provided additional information in writing.

Not only that, the KPK Council has also asked related parties to bring proof of booking accommodation at Amber Lombok Beach Resort and Mandalika MotoGP tickets at the Grandstand Premium Zone A-Red.
