JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has stated that it does not discriminate in carrying out its work. There are hundreds of suspects they have named so far this year.

"From January 6, 2022, to October 4, 2022, 108 people have been suspects and have been detained by the KPK," said KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri in a written statement quoted on Monday, October 17.

Firli emphasized that the KPK was working professionally. All of these suspects have gone through the applicable regulations.

He ensured that the KPK would not be pressured or forced by anyone to name a suspect. Moreover, law enforcement must be followed by evidence.

"The way the KPK works will not serve or be based on the momentary interests of a political desire, waves of right and wrong opinions, or swaying the legal status," he stressed.

"Law enforcement is a lonely event basically, because it only refers to the law and evidence without pressure or coercion from anyone," continued Firli.

Firli asked the public not to be skeptical of the KPK. He asked for public support so that the eradication of corruption can be carried out optimally.

"Let the KPK work professionally on all corruption cases. The KPK will carry out its duties and authorities without being affected by any power. Everything that happens at the KPK is a legal process," he concluded.
