Mahfud MD Encouraged To Reprimand Kpk Chairman For Misinterpretation Of Law On 75 Employees Did Not Pass Assessment

JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Legal And Security Politics (Menko Polhukam) Mahfud MD called should reprimand the Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Firli Bahuri.

This reprimand must be issued because the former Deputy of Kpk Crackdown was considered to misinterpret kpk Law No. 19 of 2019 which regulates the status of employees of the antirasuah commission into the State Civil Apparatus (ASN).

"The Minister of Police must reprimand the Chairman of the KPK for misre interpreting the Law," legal expert Abdul Fickar Hadjar told reporters on Wednesday, May 12.

He also mentioned, 75 KPK employees who did not pass the National Insight Test assessment (TWK) should still be appointed as state civil apparatus (ASN). Because, TWK which is one of the conditions for employee status transfer should not be the deciding factor.

Moreover, if you look at the new KPK Law, the employees of the antirasuah commission should automatically become ASN. "The new KPK Law determines kpk employees asn then by itself, since the Law was passed, KPK employees have become ASN," he said.

Fickar also said that employees who do not pass TWK should not be disabled but given training to improve national insight.

Furthermore, he also said, The Ministry of Finance should be responsible for managing this transition mechanism. Because, the kpk leadership period itself only served for five years and will change.

"Institutionally (transfer of status, red) is the responsibility of the Minister of Finance (Tjahjo Kumolo)," he said.

Previously, the National Insight Test (TWK) was followed by 1,351 KPK employees. Of these, 1,274 were declared eligible.

Meanwhile, 75 employees, including Novel Baswedan, Chairman of kpk employee forum who is also an investigator Yudi Purnomo, Director of Socialization and Anti-Corruption Campaign KPK Giri Suprapdiono was declared ineligible (TMS) and two employees were not present in the interview test.

Furthermore, 75 employees who were declared ineligible were subsequently disabled. This deactivation is based on the Decree of the Kpk Leadership No. 652 of 2021. The letter signed by KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri was set on May 7 and a valid copy was signed plh Head of HUMAN RESOURCES Bureau Yonathan Demme Tangdilintin.

There are four points in the decree. Including, ordering employees who do not qualify to hand over their duties and responsibilities to their superiors directly.

Even so, kpk excused not to deactivation of dozens of people. "We can explain that at this time the employee is not disabled because all rights and responsibilities of staffing still apply," KPK Spokesman Ali Fikri told reporters on Tuesday, May 11.

The purpose of the submission of duties and responsibilities as written in the Decree, claimed solely for the effectiveness of the implementation of corruption eradication tasks can run.

"The handover of this task is done solely to ensure the effectiveness of the implementation of tasks in the KPK so as not to be constrained and avoid any legal problems related to the handling of ongoing cases," he said.
