Heads Turn as BP Haji Appoints Four Former KPK Officers in Senior Positions
In a bold move signifying President Prabowo‘s commitment to anti-corruption efforts, the Badan Penyelenggara Haji Indonesia (BP Haji) has appointed four former officials from the KPK (Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi), marking a significant step in bolstering integrity in the country’s pilgrimage management organization.
Yudi Purnomo Harahap, a former chief of the KPK’s Civil Servant Corps (Wadah Pegawai KPK), praised this decision. "This is a testament to President Prabowo’s pledge to strengthen the fight against corruption by hiring individuals known for their integrity, like these former KPK officers," he stated.
Kepala Badan Haji Irfan Yusuf and Wakil Kepala Badan Haji Dahnil Anzar Simanjuntak officially appointed the four individuals from the Satuan Giliran Semesta Pencegahan Korupsi Polri (Satgassus Pencegahan Korupsi Polri), a unit directly under the Indonesia’s National Police that comprises former KPK investigators and officials.
The newly appointed senior officers are:
- Budi Agung Nugraha, a former senior investigator at the KPK, now serving as the Direktor Pengawasan, Pemantauan, dan Evaluasi Pelayanan Haji Luar Negeri (Director of Overseas Pilgrimage Monitoring and Evaluation).
- Chandra Sulistio Reksoprodjo, former KPK Human Resources Director, who will lead as Direktor Penyusunan Strategi dan Tata Kelola (Director of Strategic Planning and Organizational Governance).
- March Falentino, a former KPK investigator, now serving as the Kasubdit (Assistant Sub-Directorate).
- Nurul Huda, a former internal auditor at the KPK, who will be serving as another Kasubdit (Assistant Sub-Directorate).
All four will be working at the Deputy office for Monitoring, Supervision, and Evaluation of Hajj Services. Yudi Purnomo lauded their appointment, saying, "Their track record of integrity and performance during their tenure at the KPK and Polri speaks for itself. I am confident they will uphold their duties diligently and foster a culture of integrity at BP Haji."
The move signals a fresh breeze sweeping through Indonesia’s government institutions, demonstrating that when given the chance, those dedicated to public service can indeed make a tangible difference.
