Jakarta (Antara) - If President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) appoints ministers who the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has categorized as problematic, then his government will not be clean, the KPK chief has said. "It is simple to judge it. The people will judge it unclean if problematic cabinet ministers are appointed, as that will reflect on the government," KPK Chief Abraham Samad stated at the KPK building here on Wednesday. Earlier, on Friday (Oct 17), Jokowo's Transition Team submitted a list of 43 ministerial candidates to the KPK for studying the track record of those selected. The KPK submitted its view to the President. "The KPK has an obligation to inform the President about the eligibility of his ministerial candidates. It should be made clear. There should be no grey area in this matter," the KPK chief noted. This means, if KPK's recommendation is ignored, then it will reject the appointment of the (problematic) ministers. "The KPK's position is clear, that it will reject those who are problematic. It will have to reject it," he added. (*)
