TWK Polemic Continues, Baswedan Novel: The Problem Is In Firli Bahuri
JAKARTA - Novel Baswedan mentions the Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Firli Bahuri did not follow up the orders of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) related to the polemic assessment of the National Insight Test (TWK) until the deactivation of 75 KPK employees who were considered not qualified.
This is considered problematic and Firli said he has set a bad example for disobeying President Jokowi's orders.
"The decree has been pidyato for several days and the president's direction is not done. That is, the actual decree is formally problematic and substantially problematic also because Mr. Firli Bahuri as the leader who signed the decree did nothing," Novel told reporters at the Komnas HAM office, Jalan Latuharhary, Central Jakarta, Monday, May 24.
"This kind of pattern is wrong and then there is already a directive Mr. president still does not want to be obeyed. I'm afraid this is a bad example and how can other things be expected," he added.
This senior investigator also said this polemic problem can be solved by kpk itself. Because, decisions related to the fate of dozens of employees are in the hands of Firli not in other institutions.
"So yes the problem is not a complicated problem. I'm sure it's not in the interests of BKN, KemenPANRB, or anything else. But the importance is, when there is a law that asks for a transition to ASN and then followed up with the pp that all of it does not require any tests or anything," he explained.
He and dozens of employees who did not escape suspect Firli had special interests with the holding of TWK. Not only that, the former Deputy Kpk Crackdown is suspected of imposing wills to smuggle the norms and rules of the commission.
This led dozens of employees to fight back and report to Firli's actions to a number of institutions, including Komnas HAM. "We've reported to many places and I say once again the problem is it's not in any institution. But it is in kpk, namely in Pak Firli Bahuri himself," 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 Joko Widodo (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.
Therefore, the transfer of kpk employee status to state civil apparatus (ASN) should be part of efforts to eradicate corruption more systematically.
According to Jokowi, the results of the National Insight Test (TWK) on KPK employees should be input 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.
