President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo is preparing a list of candidates to fill a leadership post at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) that was left empty last week by the dismissal of Firli Bahuri.
Prevailing KPK law stipulates that the President propose to the House of Representatives two candidates for every empty position, and for lawmakers to then make the final decision. The names must be from a list of former candidates who were screened by a government-sanctioned selection committee in the past but failed during the process at the House – and they must meet the age requirement and be qualified for the job.
