The Lampung High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) arrested a woman suspected of being a jockey in the implementation of the basic competency selection test (SKD) for Candidates for Civil Servants (CPNS) for the Prosecutor's Office in 2023.

"On Monday, the Lampung Attorney General's Office Intelligence Organizational Resources Security Team (PAM SDO) together with the CPNS test supervisory committee arrested a person we suspect is a CPNS test jockey for the Prosecutor's Office," said Head of the Lampung Attorney General's Office Information and Law Section (Penkum) Ricky Ramadhan, quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, November 14.

He said that during the 2023 Prosecutor's Office's 2023 CPNS SKD Test based on a computer or Computer Assisted Test (CAT), the Lampung Attorney General's Office Intelligence PAM SDO Team together with the test supervisory committee found irregularities in one of the participants while registering for PIN collection.

"So in the application, it was found that there was a discrepancy in the original face with the photo in the application data. The jockey was a woman with the initials RT (20) who was then arrested at the location around the exercise of the test at 15.00 WIB and secured by the PAM SDO Intelligence Team at the Lampung Attorney General's Office," he said.

He revealed that the jockey modus operandi was that he initially came as a participant wearing black and white clothes like participants by bringing the examination number and ID card.

However, Ricky continued, when entering the registration desk and having a face and identity examination, his face could not be detected by the registration application, so the committee advised to wait first in the participant seats.

"When the committee conducted further examination, it was discovered that the photo on his ID card was the same as the ID card of the other participants who were left behind the previous day. So the Committee Team conveyed to the SDO Intelligence PAM Team and immediately secured the participants," he said.

Ricky said that he had been secured and reported to the police for further investigation.

"The PAM SDO Intelligence and Committee Team of the Lampung Attorney General's Office of Civil Servants will try their best to keep this recruitment completely clean and transparent and with various efforts to prevent brokering and things that could interfere with the course of this CAT test," he said.
