Dream - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) appointed Nawawi Pomolango as the temporary Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). Nawawi was inaugurated to replace Firli Bahuri, who was dismissed after being declared a suspect in the extortion case of Syahrul Yasin Limpo. "President Joko Widodo has signed the Presidential Decree on the Temporary Dismissal of KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri, and at the same time appointed Nawawi Pomolango as the Temporary Chairman of the KPK," said President's Special Staff Coordinator Ari Dwipayana, as quoted from liputan6.com, Saturday, November 25, 2023.

"This Presidential Decree was signed by President Jokowi at Lanud Halim Perdanakusuma Jakarta, on Friday night, November 24, 2023, upon returning from a working visit to West Kalimantan," he continued. "As known, Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Firli Bahuri has been named a suspect in the alleged extortion case against former Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) Syahrul Yasin Limpo (SYL)."

"Nawawi also criticized Firli Bahuri's leadership in the anti-corruption institution by emphasizing the one-man show behavior. He reminded the KPK leadership not to make decisions on their own. Then, during the fit and proper test for KPK candidates, Nawawi sharply criticized the KPK."

"Starting from the excessive wiretapping by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), the KPK employees' organization which is considered to be heavily involved in politics, to the prevention program which is seen as merely a tour activity with an anti-corruption bus. Nawawi Pomolango began his career as a judge in 1992 at the Soasio Tidore District Court, Central Halmahera Regency."

Nawawi has a wealth of Rp 3,414,153,579 or Rp 3.4 billion as stated in the LHKPN (Statement of Assets and Liabilities) reported on February 3, 2022. He owns land and buildings located in Bolaang Mongondow Regency, North Sulawesi, and Balikpapan, East Kalimantan, worth Rp 1,820,000,000 or Rp 1.8 billion.
