Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Firli Bahuri prepares to attend a work meeting with Commission III of the DPR at the Parliament Building Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Monday (14/9/2020).
The credibility of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is being tested. The KPK Supervisory Board (Dewas) and the KPK leadership are inextricable organs of the anti-graft body.
The test commenced in June, when KPK chairman Firli Bahuri chartered a helicopter, reportedly for personal use. KPK deputy chair Alexander Marwata explained that Firli took the chartered helicopter to travel from Palembang to Baturaja in South Sumatra for the sake of efficiency, as Firli had only one day’s leave. Firli paid for the chartered helicopter using his own money.
