"The selection committee tasked with the appointing KPK secretary-general has been formed and has begun holding meetings," said the KPK spokesman, Febri Diansyah, here on Monday
The selection committee comprised internal and external members. "The committee consists of internal elements, but most of them are external elements," he said.
The internal element is the KPK chief, Agus Rahardjo, and the external elements include the former KPK commissioner, Erry Riyana Hardjapamekas, and sociologist Imam Prasodjo, Sumiyati, and Aloysius Budi Santoso.
The committee would submit a list of candidates to the President, Joko Widodo.

Under the law, the president has to appoint and dismiss the KPK secretary-general," said Diansyah.
