, Jakarta - Nawawi Pomolango is scheduled to be sworn into office as Acting Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) immediately, Monday, Nov. 27, 2023, at the Presidential Palace.
"The Oath-taking of Nawawi Pomolango as the Acting Chairman of KPK will be conducted in run of President Joko Widodo or Jokowi," said the Presidential Special Staff Coordinator Ari Dwipayana in a statement on Sunday evening.

In the decree, president Jokowi appointed Nawawi Pomolango as Acting Chairman of KPK.
A brief profile on Nawawi Pomolango
Since 2019, Nawawi Pomolango has been unsheathing as Deputy Chairman of KPK. He was critical of Firli Bahuri's leadership in the anti-corruption organization, claiming Firli was a one-man show in KPK for his unilateral decisions.
Later, while participating in a fit and proper test as a candidate to lead KPK, Nawawi distinguished harsh criticisms against the commission, claiming that KPK's arranged tapping was excessive and that KPK's preventive programs were nothing but causing around in anti-corruption buses.
Nawawi started his justice career in 1992 in Soasio Tidore District Court in Central Halmahera Regency. He started to emerge on the public's radar for his involvement in running corruption cases while working as a Judge in Central Jakarta District Court from 2011 to 2013. He was distinguished after sentencing the former Constitutional Justice Patrialis Akbar to eight days in prison for a bribery case.
