15 January 2015 15:14 WIB
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Emerson Kuntho, Coordinator of Legal and Judicial Monitoring Division of the Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW), said that he will send a petition to President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo to reject the appointment of Commissioner General Budi Gunawan as candidate for the Chief of Police position.
According to Emerson, he is still waiting for Jokowi's final stance until the end of the plenary session held today. He still expected Jokowi to change his decision by immediately withdrawing Budi Gunawan as the Chief of Police candidate. "There are many generals that are way more competent," said Emerson.
If Jokowi announces the withdrawing of Budi Gunawan, Emerson said that his intention to submit an online petition will be cancelled.
Emerson also requested the Head of KPK to support the petition. The request will be submitted to KPK today.
