JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) confirmed that it will work according to existing laws and regulations. They will not be affected by any statements that are considered to interfere with the work of eradicating corruption. This was conveyed by the Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri in response to the statement of former Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights Denny Indrayana who claimed to have received a leak that former DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan was a suspect. "We law enforcers continue to work upright and are not influenced by statements and political interventions from parties involved in political battles outside the KPK," Ali said in a written statement, Wednesday, June 21. Ali also mentioned the alleged corruption in Formula E which is said to be dragging Anies. He denied that there was a suspect determination as stated by Denny. "So far, all we know is that it is still at the investigation stage," he said. Previously, Denny Indrayana said that former DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan would soon be named a suspect. He admitted that he received a leak from a member of the DPR RI. "After the KPK exposed 19 times, this is a record-breaking, a member of the DPR said Anies was immediately suspected," Denny told reporters, Wednesday, June 21. Through his written statement written from Melbourne, Australia, Denny said the KPK leadership had agreed with the determination of the suspect. Thus, the suspicion of thwarting Anies in the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres) is getting stronger. Moreover, the Constitutional Court (MK) has just decided to extend the term of office of Firli Bahuri et al. It is suspected that this goal is to launch a government business that is in power to suppress its political opponents.

"It is more legible, why is the term of office for the KPK leaders to be extended by the Constitutional Court for one year. To complete the task of hitting opponents, and embracing friends-coalition, according to the order of the power of attorney for the status quo," he said.
