TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Leaders and members of the Ethics Council (MKD) of the House of Representatives (DPR) visited DPR Speaker Setya Novanto at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) building for questioning.
Tempo gathered that the MKD members arrived at 10:16 a.m. but they refused to comment on the questioning of Setya Novanto.
KPK spokesperson Febri Diansyah earlier said that the MKD would examine Setya over a breach of the code of conduct.

At the same time, Setya Novanto’s pretrial hearing was being held at the South Jakarta District Court. The DPR Speaker filed the pretrial motion on November 16 challenging the KPK’s decision to name him a suspect in the electronic ID cards (e-KTP) graft case.
Earlier on September 29, a court overturned the suspect status of Setya Novanto. Sole judge Cepi Iskandar said that the suspect naming was illegitimate since the decision was made at the beginning of the investigation instead of in the end of it.
