The KPK removed Endar from the position of Director of Investigation on the grounds that his term of office with the National Police ended on March 31, 2023. This removal then caused a polemic because the National Police Chief had extended Endar's tenure at the KPK in a letter to the KPK leadership dated March 29, 2023. 

The National Police Chief has also returned to reply to Endar's return letter to the National Police sent by the Corruption Eradication Commission. In the letter, the National Police Chief again requested that Endar remain on duty at the KPK. 

Endar has also reported this polemic to the KPK Supervisory Board. He hopes Dewas can resolve the polemic that occurred. 

The KPK then opened its voice. The KPK confirmed that the removal was carried out because Endar's term of office ended on March 31, 2023. The KPK also stated that it did not propose to extend Endar's term of office, but instead recommended that Endar get a promotion at the National Police. 

President Jokowi Asks to Follow the Rules
