he Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) cleared National Police chief nominee Comr. Gen. Badrodin Haiti of all criminal charges during a hearing with the House of Representatives on Thursday.
Acting KPK chairman Taufiequrachman Ruki said that Badrodin had proven himself as a good government official by submitting his wealth report. He also said that the antigraft body had yet to receive any reports of suspicious transactions from Badrodin's bank accounts.
'Badrodin Haiti is the figure who has helped us to succeed in our corruption prevention efforts, especially in the energy and mineral resources sector,' KPK deputy chairman Adnan Pandu Praja said.
President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo nominated Badrodin for the role of National Police chief following controversy surrounding a previous candidate, Comr. Gen. Budi Gunawan, who was named a suspect in a bribery case.
Badrodin is now awaiting a confirmation hearing from the House before being inaugurated as National Police chief.
Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (PPATK) chairman Muhammad Yusuf said there were no problems with Badrodin's bank accounts.
'He was reported for suspicious transactions in 2009, but was later cleared of the allegations,' he said.
