President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo accepted eight candidates for the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) commissioner post on Tuesday, handed over by members of the selection team who chose the eight names from over 500 applications submitted in June.
The nine members on the all-female selection team, led by Destry Damayanti, arrived at the state palace at 9:45 a.m. to present the names to the President.
The eight candidates are: National Intelligence Body (BIN) staff expert Saut Situmorang; public lawyer Surya Tjandra; corruption judge at the Jakarta District Court Alexander Marwata; Brig. Gen. (Pol.) Basaria Panjaitan; head of the government's Goods and Services Procurement Policy Institute Agus Raharja; KPK's Inter Institutions Cooperation Supervision director Sujanarko; acting KPK commissioner Johan Budi; and scholar at Makassar-based Hasanuddin University Laode Muhammad Syarif.
'Tomorrow, I will prepare a letter for the House of Representatives,' President Jokowi was quoted by kompas.com as saying. (bbn) (++++)
