Investigating Alleged Violations, Komnas HAM Plans To Summon Firli Bahuri Next Week

JAKARTA - The National Human Rights Commission (Komnas HAM) plans to summon KPK chairman Firli Bahuri. This summons will be carried out to investigate allegations of human rights violations in the National Insight Test (TWK) Assessment process as a condition for transferring employment status.

"We are planning (to summon the Chairman of the KPK, red) next week. So if all of this is finished we will immediately summon it," said Komnas HAM Investigative Monitoring Commissioner Choirul Anam to reporters at his office, Jalan Latuharhary, Central Jakarta, Thursday, May 27.

He explained that currently the investigating team for alleged human rights violations in the test has been working. Anam said the team was continuing to conduct investigations on a number of parties.

Komnas HAM hopes that TWK, which is the basis of this polemic, will be bright in the future. The aim is to assess whether the test has an important contribution to efforts to eradicate corruption.

"So, we hope that the construction of the event at the end will give light to the incident. Why did this happen and so on," he said.

"So that we can assess whether the process that occurs is indeed an important contribution to the eradication of corruption, which in the context of a modern state, anti-corruption is a pillar of the nation and the state," added Anam.

Furthermore, he also asked President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) to pay more attention to the recent TWK polemic. Because, this is important for better state governance.

"The president must pay attention to this incident," he said.

Previously reported, representatives of the KPK Employees' Forum returned to the Komnas HAM office. They brought with them a number of additional evidences, including a list of parties to be examined related to the implementation of this TWK.

In addition, the arrival of the KPK WP is also to submit written statements from employees who have passed or not in the implementation of TWK. This information contains a number of question irregularities in the test which become a requirement for the transfer of employment status.

The National Insight Test (TWK) was attended by 1,351 KPK employees. Of these, 1,274 people were declared eligible.

Meanwhile 75 employees including Novel Baswedan, Chairman of the KPK Employee Council who is also investigator Yudi Purnomo, Director of Anti-Corruption Socialization and Campaign Giri Suprapdiono, KPK Head of Task Force Harun Al-Rasyid, and Director of PJKAKI Sujarnarko were declared ineligible (TMS). Meanwhile, two other employees did not attend the interview test.

According to the accounts of the employees who had not passed, there were a number of oddities in the implementation of this assessment. Including, there are a number of questions that are deemed to violate the private sphere.

The employees who did not pass this then reported the implementation of TWK to Komnas HAM. Furthermore, a special team was formed led by two commissioners, namely Choirul Anam and Sandrayati Moniaga to investigate alleged human rights violations in this test.

In addition to submitting reports to Komnas HAM, these employees also report their leadership to a number of parties from the KPK Supervisory Board to the Indonesian Ombudsman.
