JAKARTA - Former spokesman for the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Febri Diansyah said the Taliban issue in the KPK was blowing because the anti-graft commission was working on a major case.

The KPK is currently investigating cases of alleged corruption in the Covid-19 social assistance fund (bansos) and the issuance of a permit to extract lobster seeds or fry.

"The issue of the Taliban with the 2019 video before student demonstrations was raised again. At the same time, the handling of Covid-19 Social Assistance Corruption began to warm, "said Febri, from his personal Twitter account, Monday, January 25.

In his next thread, Febri suspected that the Taliban issue would be used to attack senior KPK investigators, Novel Baswedan and his friends. "My guess is that Novel @nazaqistha et al will be attacked. Yes, using the issue of "Taliban" in the KPK. And it may be linked to investigators who are handling major corruption cases, for example: fries or fry corruption or Covid-19 Social Assistance corruption which the KPK is handling, ”wrote Febri.

Febri hopes that the corruption case of social assistance funds and fry export can be resolved immediately by the KPK. He is sure that all KPK employees are currently struggling to handle the corruption case.

"KPK leaders should also be able to prove their seriousness," said Febri.

The Taliban video Febri meant was the video uploaded by the @mochamadarip account on Saturday 23 January. In the video, Febri is a person associated with the KPK Taliban and is said to be mobilizing students to take anarchist actions during a demonstration against the revision of the 2019 KPK Law.

Meanwhile, Novel Baswedan considers the issue of radicalism and the Taliban which are currently busy on social media to be tools used by corrupt supporters whose interests are disturbed by the work of investigating corruption carried out by the KPK. it's not true and making it up, ”said Novel, Monday, January 25.

"Comrades have been able to mark that the issue was raised. Usually their interests are disturbed by the KPK and so far this has been the case. If the KPK is working properly to fight corruption then they (supporters of corruptors) will attack using this issue, ”continued Novel.
