The House of Representatives will carry out a fit-and-proper test on two candidates – Busyro Muqodas and Bambang Widjojanto – nominated to head the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).
Busyro, the current chairman of Judicial Commission and a PP Muhammadiyah adviser, will sit the test at 2 p.m. today, and Bambang, a human rights activist and former Legal Aid Foundation Board chairman, will take the test at 7:30 p.m.
House of Representatives Commission III deputy chairman Azis Syamsuddin said the two candidates would face a bombardment of questions put to them by legislators to test their knowledge of the law.
The candidates should show that they are well versed in various issues regarding law enforcement and corruption eradication as well as general philosophy as stipulated in the United Nations Convention against Corruption, Azis added.
“They have to prove their knowledge about legislation so that as the commission chief or as an investigator they can maintain their impartiality and accountability in law-enforcement proceedings,” Azis said as quoted by Kompas.com.
The House commission will vote to select the new KPK chief on Thursday.
Busyro or Bambang would fill a position that has been vacant since former KPK chief Antasari Azhar was sentenced to 18 years in prison for masterminding the murder of businessman Nasrudin Zulkarnaen in March, 2009.
The commission is scheduled on Thursday to select two people to lead the KPK, one from the commission’s current leadership, including M Jasin, Haryono, Bibit S Rianto, Chandra M Hamzah, and also one of the two new nominees.
