At the inauguration, the three advisors promised to assume their roles under the KPK’s ethics code.
"If we break our promises, we are ready to receive sanctions, either administrative sanctions or prison time under the existing regulations," they said, as quoted by kompas.com.
The KPK is facing a tough phase as the House of Representative aims to put pressure on the antigraft body by launching an inquiry in relation to the KPK’s investigation of corruption related to the procurement of electronic identity cards, which allegedly involved several lawmakers. Experts said the inquiry could lead to the antigraft body being dismantled. (yon)
