Selection Committee Announces 10 Final Candidates for KPK Commissioners
Jakarta. The selection committee for the new commissioners of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) met with President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo on Tuesday to present the final list of 10 candidates to be submitted to the House of Representatives.
A House commission will select five commissioners, subject to approval by a plenary session.
Several prominent figures unexpectedly failed to make the final list, including former KPK spokesman Johan Budi, who resigned as a lawmaker and executive of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) to participate in the selection, former Energy Minister Sudirman Said, and current KPK commissioner Nurul Ghufron.
“The president will forward the names to the House in the near future,” said Arief Satria, deputy chairman of the selection committee.
Arief added that the final 10 candidates were carefully selected based on their reputation and public trust, with input from various community elements, including academics, the media, and even business leaders.
The 10 candidates are as follows:
- Agus Joko Pramono, former deputy head of the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK)
- Ahmad Alamsyah Saragih, former ombudsman
- Djoko Poerwanto, Central Kalimantan Police chief
- Fitroh Rohcahyanto, former KPK prosecution director
- Ibnu Basuki Widodo, high court judge
- Ida Budhiati, former member of the Election Organizer Honorary Council (DKPP)
- Johanis Tanak, current KPK commissioner
- Michael Rolandi Cesnanta Brata, head of the Jakarta Financial Management Department
- Poengky Indarti, commissioner of the National Police Commission (Kompolnas)
- Setyo Budiyanto, inspector general of the Agriculture Ministry
