Brigadier General Endar Priantoro said he had other duties after being dismissed as Director of Investigation of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). However, he still feels as part of this institution according to the Chief of Police's Order.

"Now I am not active because I have other tasks that I have to do," Endar told reporters at the Indonesian Ombudsman Office, Jakarta, Monday, April 17.

Endar said he still felt part of the KPK because it was based on the order of the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo. "The letter has already preceded March 29", he said.

Meanwhile, the letter of dismissal from the KPK was only issued as of March 31. So, he feels that he is still on duty at the anti-corruption agency.

"I'm actually still at the KPK based on the Chief of Police's Order. Please note it. I am based on the Chief of Police's Order on the 29th still assigned to the KPK," he said.

As previously reported, Endar was respectfully dismissed on March 31 after he was returned to the National Police. However, the Bhayangkara Corps member was instead asked to return to the KPK according to the order of the National Police Chief, General Listyo Sigit Prabowo.

As a result of this incident, he reported KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri and KPK Secretary General Cahya H. Harefa to the KPK Supervisory Board. In addition, Endar also reported other alleged violations such as leaking documents for investigating alleged corruption at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources to forcing the manufacture of documents even though the title of the case or exposure had not been carried out.

Not only that, Endar also reported the leadership, Secretary General, and Head of the KPK HR Bureau to the Indonesian Ombudsman. He suspects that maladministration occurred when he was dismissed as Director of Investigation of the KPK.
