DOC VOI

JAKARTA - Former Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Bambang Widjojanto said that the sanctions for violating the code of ethics given by the KPK Council for Firli Bahuri were meaningless.

"Sanctions from the KPK Council are almost meaningless, because they do not cause a determinant effect for the examinee," Bambang said in his official statement, Thursday, December 28.

Because according to Bambang, based on the decision of the KPK Council on December 27, the sanction for violating the code of ethics given by Firli Bahuri's inactive chairman, Firli, was asked to resign as chairman of the KPK.

Meanwhile, Firli Bahuri had already submitted a request for resignation on December 23, 2023, which was intended for the President with a copy of the Council.

The Deputy Chairperson of the KPK for the 2011-2015 period also highlighted another KPK leader, Alexander Marwata, who stated that he was not ashamed and did not want to apologize.

" Alexander's actions do not reflect and even violate the principles regulated in the values of professionalism and leadership, which are included in the KPK Council Regulation Number 3 of 2021. Isn't one of the principles that must be enforced by KPK personnel, showing exemplary actions and daily behavior that can be accounted for," explained Bambang.

Firli Bahuri called Bambang inappropriate to be the head of the KPK because he admitted his actions, and was not present at the trial of the code of ethics and code of conduct without valid reasons even though he had been legally summoned.

"There is an impression of trying to slow down the trial, the Examined cannot be an example and role model in implementing the Code of Conduct and Code of Conduct at the KPK, and the Examined has been subject to ethical sanctions," he said.

The Supervisory Board of the Corruption Eradication Commission (Dewas KPK) on December 27 has imposed severe sanctions on the inactive KPK chairman Firli Bahuri for violating the code of ethics.

"Imposing severe sanctions to the Examined (Firli Bahuri) in the form of being asked to submit his resignation as chairman of the KPK," said the Chairman of the KPK Council, Tumpak Hatorangan Panggabean, when reading the decision of Firli Bahuri's ethics trial at the ACLC KPK building, Jakarta, December 27.
