Novel Baswedan Admits That It Is On The List Of 75 Names Of Employees Who Do Not Pass The National Insight Test

JAKARTA - Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) senior investigator Novel Baswedan admitted that he had received information that he was one of 75 employees who did not pass the National Insight Test (TWK) assessment.

This test is a requirement for transferring employee status from independent to State Civil Apparatus (ASN).

"I got the information (name on the list, red)", said Novel Baswedan when contacted by VOI via text message, Thursday, May 6.

However, he admitted that he had not received any official notification to date regarding this matter.

"There is no notification yet", he said.

Furthermore, Novel acknowledged that there was another KPK Head of Task Force who also suffered a similar fate to him. Most of them lead the investigation of mega corruption cases that are being handled by the anti-graft commission.

"Yes, all major cases are handled", he said.

Previously reported, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) finally announced that 75 of its employees had not passed the National Insight Test (TWK) assessment. This assessment is a requirement for anti-gas commission employees to become the ASN as mandated by the Corruption Eradication Commission Law Number 19 of 2019.

This announcement was made by KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri accompanied by KPK Deputy Chairman Nurul Ghufron, KPK Supervisory Board Indriyanto Seno Adji, and KPK Secretary-General Cahya H Harefa.

"There are 75 employees who do not meet the requirements", Firli said in a press conference held at the KPK's Red and White House, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday, May 5.

However, the former Deputy for Corruption Eradication of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) did not reveal which employees did not pass the selection. The reason is that the KPK upholds the enforcement of human rights and does not want this to have an impact on their families and the environment around them.

"We will convey the 75 names to the secretary-general after the decision letter is issued because we do not want to spread issues", he said.
