Busyro is ahead of other KPK leaders in ending his term, they will end their terms on December 14, 2015. Different with Busyro who entered the commission in advance; because he replaced former KPK chief Antasari Azha who was fired after he was convicted for the murder of Nazruddin Zulkarnaen, main director of PT Putra Rajawali Banjaran.
KPK chief Abraham Samad viewed that the person to replace Busyro will not be able to immediately work as a team with the four KPK leaders. “It is hard to build the chemistry again. It took us five years to build it. It will be difficult and hampering if there is a new person to come,” he uttered.
