Public OPTIMISM in the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) must be raised so that the KPK changes for the better and regains public trust. This is a necessity that must be realized by leading the KPK by a leader who is not problematic.

Former KPK investigator Yudi Purnomo Harahap said that following the Capim Selection Committee (Pansel) and the KPK Supervisory Board made an official announcement, there were many things that might be seen and criticized together.

“After the selection committee officially announces it, that’s where we can see, firstly, the courage of the selection committee to cross out problematic participants, then the optimism of the names that passed the administration,” he said when contacted, Thursday (18/7).

The optimism is a hope for whoever is elected later. The bad track record of the KPK capim participants will not be able to fix the KPK which is already in an emergency condition.

“Whoever is chosen from the hundreds who registered, they are the best who will fix the KPK because they have no bad track record. Because the main key to fixing the KPK is not having a bad track record.”

He believes that if the requirements in the law are met by participants, then it is part of the quality and is optimistic.

“The most important thing is that we can see optimism when the selection committee announces the names of participants who passed the administration,” he added.

Hope Pinned on Selection Committee

Meanwhile, according to member of Commission III of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Hinca Panjaitan, this hope or optimism must be pinned on the selection committee, which is the first filter to produce good KPK leadership candidates.

“So it is very important for the selection committee to work not only with precision, but also with a strong collective spirit. The solidarity and integrity of the selection committee are key,” he said.

The selection committee must work as a harmonious unit, without any divisions that can be exploited by certain interests that are not in line with the KPK’s mission. (Sru/Z-7)
