Jakarta (News Today) - A member of the national committee to select a new Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) chief said many people seemed to be afraid to apply for the post as the number of applicants so far was still minimal.
"Many people are probably afraid , if they are elected KPK chief, they will run the risk of being criminalized, or because the term is too short," Renald Khasali, a member of the selection committee, said at a discussion here on Saturday.
He said after the committee opened registration last May 25 only five people had submitted their applications although 63 had already taken the application forms. They are among others former police official W Warrouw, lawyer Farhat Abbas and a judge from Bengkulu province.
Khasali said the registration was open until June 14. He hoped before the deadline more candidates would return their completed application forms so that the committee would have more people to choose from. He said the committee would seek a figure with competence and integrity.
"We will contact community figures who care about corruption eradication for a reference," he said adding the public had already sent in some names for selection.
He said he had accepted the names for inputs but the committee would still continue to find the best pearl. According to him, the committee would choose two of them to be proposed to the House of Representatives for selection.
Denny Indrayana, the secretary of the government’s anti-corruption taskforce, meanwhile on the occasion hoped that the House of Representatives would reject candidates sent by corruptors. Denny meanwhile had also asked the committee to carefully scrutinize candidates’ lifestyle, wealth and tax returns.
