DPR Asks The Board Of Supervisors To Follow Up On The President's Instruction On 75 KPK Officers

JAKARTA - Member of Commission III of House of Representatives Eva Yuliana asked the polemic of 75 KPK employees who did not pass the National Insight Test (TWK) to be ended, especially since President Joko Widodo had an opinion. Jokowi said that 75 KPK (Corruption Eradication Commission) employees who did not pass the National Insight Test were not necessarily dismissed.

"In our opinion, the 75 KPK employees who are known to have not passed the test have served for a long time. So, we should still appreciate and pay attention", said Eva Yuliana to reporters, Wednesday, May 18.

 

The Chairman of the NasDem Party Faction Group of Commission III of the House of Representatives encouraged the KPK leadership and Supervisory Board to immediately follow up on the president's direction.

 

"He has opened the deadlock and answered the polemic regarding the change in the status of KPK employees to Civil Servant", said Eva.

 

He also agreed with the President's policy. According to him, the results of the national insight test must be used as evaluation material for both the KPK institution and employees who do not pass TWK.

 

"I think President Jokowi's attitude is moderate and has implemented modern leadership. Where it prioritizes checks and balances, there is the openness of democratic space which is maintained and obeyed collectively", she explained.

 

"The president can neatly balance the role of Civil Servant with the role of law enforcers, including the recruitment process", Eva continued.

Eva hopes that all parties at this time can stay focused and examine the details of the existing problems holistically and integrally, not in bits and pieces. However, he said, Civil Servant has a mechanism and laws that need to be obeyed together.

Likewise, law enforcers also have statutory mechanisms and rules that include their own standards of professionalism, independence, integrity, and discipline.

"I do not hope that the integrity of law enforcers will be disturbed", said Eva.
