JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Alexander Marwata does not want to be dizzy about the report of the Indonesian Anti-Corruption Society (MAKI) to the Supervisory Board. He considers the report made in the aftermath of the polemic of the National SAR Agency (Basarnas) hand arrest operation (OTT) is not important.

"I really think it's up to MAKI. It's up to MAKI to report anything I don't care about," Alexander told reporters in a written statement, Thursday, August 3.

Alexander admitted that he was relaxed with the report. "Why are you thinking about MAKI reports that are not quality," he said.

Meanwhile, the KPK believes that the Supervisory Board is professional in handling reports of alleged ethical violations. No exception, the report submitted by MAKI.

"Once again, the KPK Supervisory Board, if it is true that there is a report, it will definitely follow up professionally, independently," said Head of the News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Thursday, August 3.

The KPK said that Alexander's move to announce that the Head of Basarnas, Marshal Henri Alfiandi and his subordinates, Koorsmin Kabasarnas, Lt. Col. Afri Budi Cahyanto, were right. However, they have no problem with the report.

Ali said, the public does have the right to submit a report to the KPK Supervisory Board. "Because normatively there is room for that," he said.

"People can complain about any ethical allegations committed by KPK personnel," continued Ali.

As previously reported, MAKI officially reported KPK Deputy Chair Alexander Marwata to the Supervisory Board on Wednesday, August 2 yesterday.

MAKI attorney Kurniawan Adi Nugroho alluded to the announcement of the determination of Henri and his subordinates, Koorsmin Kabasarnas Lt. Col. Afri Budi Cahyanto as suspects in violating the rules. The reason is that the investigation warrant (sprindik) was not issued by the KPK but by the TNI POM.

"It can't be done without the sprindik. Because it violates human rights," Kurniawan told reporters at the ACLC KPK Building, Rasuna Said, South Jakarta, Wednesday, August 2.
