The KPK Council revealed that the inactive KPK chairman Firli Bahuri was asked for help by the Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) at that time Syahrul Yasin Limpo while searching the Ministry of Agriculture (Kementan).

KPK Council member Albertina Ho in the trial for the verdict on the violation of Firli's code of ethics explained that Firli Bahuri in September 2023 communicated via WhatsApp with Syahrul Yasin Limpo as evidenced by a screenshot.

Albertina explained that when Syahrul Yasin Limpo was in Rome, Italy, KPK investigators at that time conducted a search at the house of witness to the Secretary General of the Ministry of Agriculture Kasdi Subagyono, who has now been named a suspect in a corruption case at the Ministry of Agriculture.

"Witness Syahrul Yasin Limpo said, "Please allow the general, just get the information. We ask for instructions and assistance. Because it is still abroad," explained Albertina at the ACLC KPK building, Jakarta, Wednesday, December 27.

The message, said Albertina, was answered by Firli which was later deleted.

However, the communication between the Minister of Agriculture at that time Syahrul Yasin Limpo and KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri at that time was not reported by the KPK leadership.
