JAKARTA - The Supervisory Board of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) examined the Head of Human Resources Bureau (HR) and the Head of the KPK Legal Bureau were questioned on Monday, April 17.

Both were asked for information regarding the alleged ethical violation of the dismissal of Brigadier General Endar Priantoro as Director of Investigation.

"There is clarification with the Head of HR Bureau and the Head of the KPK Legal Bureau (yesterday)," said KPK Supervisory Board member Albertina Ho to reporters, Tuesday, April 18.

Albertina did not specify the results of the examination. He only said that there was no conclusion that could be drawn by the KPK Council regarding the alleged ethical violation of the dismissal of Endar Priantoro.

"It's still in the clarification process," he said.

As for other reports, the KPK Council has not followed up. KPK Council member Syamsudin Haris stated that Firli had not yet asked for clarification on other alleged violations.

"Not yet. The Council is still focused on the case of Mr. Endar's dismissal," said Syamsudin.

Previously, Endar officially 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.

In addition, he reported KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri and KPK Secretary General Cahya H. Harefa to the KPK Supervisory Board. Then, 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.

Endar was honorably dismissed from the position of Director of Investigation 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.
