Quiet Please! KPK Employees Become ASN, Firli: There Is No Decrease In Income

JAKARTA - Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Firli Bahuri emphasized that there was no decrease in income for KPK employees who had switched to become State Civil Servants (ASN). As stated by President Joko Widodo.

"As in PP 41/2020, KPK employees who become ASN if there is a decrease in income will be given a special allowance stipulated in the Presidential Decree. Pak Jokowi stated that there is no decrease in income," said Firli at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday, March 10.

The change in employee status is a consequence of the presence of Law Number 19 of 2019 concerning the KPK.

Furthermore, Firli revealed that there were a total of 1,362 KPK employees who were in the process of becoming ASN, both permanent employees and non-permanent employees.

"In the field of human resources, the KPK is now in the process of changing the status of KPK employees to ASN. At least 1,362 employees are in the process of changing to ASN, both permanent employees and non-permanent employees," said Firli.

Firli added, since February 2021, the KPK and BKN have conducted national assessments for employees who have participated in the status transfer process in March-April. It is planned that these employees will be sworn in on 1 June.

"God willing, the employees of the Corruption Eradication Commission will change to become civil servants and be inaugurated on June 1, 2021 in the spirit of the birthday of Pancasila," he concluded.
