JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Nawawi Pomolango said his party was still waiting to see who would replace Lili Pintauli Siregar.

Until now, Lili's position had not been filled after she resigned. This resignation occurred because Lili Pintauli was suspected of committing an ethical violation after receiving accommodation and the Mandalika MotoGP ticket from PT Pertamina (Persero).

"We'll just have to wait," Nawawi told reporters at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Thursday, August 11.

Nawawi said that the DPR will decide who will replace Nawawi. The name will be taken from the candidate who previously existed.

"If we are at the leadership level, we will just wait for the nature. If they send it quickly (Lili's replacement, ed), thank God. We don't send it quickly, we are still working, just working," he said.

It was previously reported that Lili Pintauli resigned after he was suspected of violating ethics by accepting the provision of accommodation and tickets for the Mandalika MotoGP.

He sent a letter since the end of June to which Jokowi responded with a Presidential Decree (Keppres) regarding the dismissal of the leadership on Monday, July 11.

Due to the resignation, the KPK Supervisory Board then aborted the ongoing ethics session. The reason is that Lili is no longer a member of the KPK.

Previously, Lili Pintauli was reported to the KPK Supervisory Board for allegedly receiving accommodation and tickets for the Mandalika MotoGP from PT Pertamina (Persero). In conducting the investigation, Tumpak et al have asked for information from various parties including the President Director of PT Pertamina, Nicke Widyawati.
