The Ombudsman Will Forcedly Pick Up Firli Bahuri Et Al Because They Are Not Cooperative About The Report Of Brigadier General Endar Priantoro

The Indonesian Ombudsman stated that he could forcibly pick up KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri if he was not cooperative in the process of examining alleged maladministration during the dismissal of Brigadier General Endar Priantoro from the position of Director of Investigation. Moreover, two summons have been sent.

This forced pick-up also applies to the Secretary General of the KPK Cahya H. Harefa and the Head of the KPK HR Bureau. All three, Endar reported to the Ombudsman.

"The Ombudsman can present and have the authority to present the reported forcibly with the help of the state police of the Republic of Indonesia," said Ombudsman member Robert Na Endi Jaweng, Tuesday, May 30.

Robert said this option was in accordance with Article 31 of Law 37 of 2008. "This was taken when we considered that the absence was due to an element of intent, especially indiscriminately conveying arguments that actually questioned the authority of the Ombudsman," he said.

However, there are other options that the Ombudsman can take, namely that they are still investigating allegations of maladministration. However, it is considered that the KPK does not use its right to answer reports.

"This happened in a number of cases," said Robert.

Previously, Enddar 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.
