The complainants in question are representatives of 75 KPK employees who were declared not to have passed the TWK. This test is a requirement for the transfer of employment status which was later considered to have many irregularities during its implementation.

Returning to Ali, he said, from the meeting Komnas HAM had provided the necessary explanations and information related to human rights aspects that would be confirmed. "This explanation was previously not contained in the Komnas HAM reply letter to the KPK," he said.

Furthermore, the KPK will discuss and prepare the information required by Komnas HAM.

"This good coordination and communication is a form of KPK's commitment to respect the main tasks of Komnas HAM. It is also to obtain an overview of the information needed by Komnas HAM," said Ali.

Provided that the KPK leadership can come to explain the issue of the implementation of the employee status transfer test.
