The statement by Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Commissioner Nawawi Pomalango who had difficulty meeting President Joko Widodo and the comparison of the president’s treatment of mass organizations and the KPK is considered an indication of indifference towards the anti-corruption agency.
According to the General Chairperson of the Indonesian Legal Aid Foundation (YLBHI) Muhammad Isnur, the statement indicates that the KPK under the current and future leadership may not process cases involving the President’s family, including the case of his son, Kaesang.
“Nawawi’s statement shows that the president seems to want to ensure that the KPK will not interfere with him and his family, including in the Kaesang case. This indicates that the case may not be processed by the KPK at this time and possibly in the future, especially if the KPK leaders who are elected are problematic people,” he said in Jakarta, Saturday (14/9).
Isnur also criticized the KPK leadership which was considered inconsistent and ignored important issues such as human rights (HAM) and the environment. According to him, this attitude was clearly seen from the appointment of KPK leaders who were considered problematic and the selection of candidates for leadership and the KPK supervisory board who were considered not to meet standards.
“Since the beginning of the problematic KPK leadership, we have felt a lack of concern for human rights and environmental issues. Now, the signal shown is that there is interference in the selection of KPK leaders who are people chosen by the president,” Isnur stressed.
Isnur added that the appointment of unclean leaders and the related issues that were ignored showed that there were political interests that dominated the reform process and supervision of anti-corruption institutions. (Z-8)
