T

he Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is set to return to their original units two police investigators who were endorsed by the National Police, KPK spokesman Febri Diansyah said on Thursday.

He said the investigators' tenure had ended.

"This is just a normal process; a part of the KPK's recruitment system," Febri said at the KPK headquarters in South Jakarta as quoted by kompas.com.

The former Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) member added that the KPK had just recruited six new investigators from the National Police who have completed a series of selection phases.

The KPK currently employs 93 investigators, 48 of them are seconded by the National Police while the remainders are KPK's permanent employees.

"It is hoped that all the investigators who used to serve at the KPK can continue their anticorruption mission wherever they are assigned next," Febri. (bbs)
