JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) was asked to take concrete steps to end the polemic of employees of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). Chairman of Setara Institute Hendardi asked the Head of State to consistently support kpk law No. 19 of 2019 revised results.
"First, Jokowi consistently supports the enforcement of Law 19 of 2019 which he approved in 2019 by ensuring the independence of the KPK to regulate itself. Because KPK is a self regulatory body," he said in his written statement received by VOI, Friday, May 21.
Jokowi, he continued, could choose to issue a replacement regulation or regulation. The regulation can replace the KPK Law so that the transfer of status can be resolved immediately and not take the KPK leadership hostage.
"Second, kpk together with the relevant agencies explain about TWK and find uncontroversial solutions," said Hendardi.
He said there was an option to keep the duties of 75 employees did not pass TWK. For example, a special assignment determined by the leadership, as long as 75 KPK employees have not switched status and/or provided a follow-up test opportunity.
"Third, for 75 KPK employees to make legal efforts in accordance with the available mechanisms," he said.
Previously reported, 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 container who is also an investigator Yudi Purnomo, Director of Socialization and Anti-Corruption Campaign KPK Giri Suprapdiono, Kasatgas KPK Harun Al-Rasyid, and Director pjkaki Sujarnarko declared ineligible (TMS). The other two employees were not present in the interview.
The public then polished until finally President Jokowi responded. The former Governor of DKI Jakarta stated that kpk must have the best human resources and be highly committed in efforts to eradicate corruption.
Thus, the transfer of kpk employee status to state civil apparatus (ASN) should be an effort to eradicate corruption more systematically.
Not only that, the results of national insight tests on KPK employees should be inputs for the improvement of anticorruption agencies both individually, and institutionally. He stressed that twk assessment results were not the basis for dismissing 75 employees who were declared ineligible.
