TWK With Administrative Disability, Ombudsman: 75 Employees Must Be Transferred To ASN

JAKARTA - The Indonesian Ombudsman conveyed corrective steps to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and the State Civil Service Agency (BKN).

This follows the finding of defects or maladministration in the National Insight Test Assessment (TWK) as a condition for transferring the status of KPK employees.

One of the corrective steps is to ask 75 KPK employees who have not passed the TWK to be transferred to ASN status.

This action refers to the KPK Law, Government Regulation (PP) Number 41 of 2020, considerations of the Constitutional Court (MK) regarding the judicial review of the KPK Law, and President Joko Widodo's statement.

"As was later found (ORI) in the process of carrying out the assessment, the 75 employees were transferred to ASN employees before October 30, 2021," said RI Ombudsman Member Robert Na Endi Jawen at a press conference to deliver the final results of the examination of KPK employee complaints which were broadcast online. online, Wednesday, July 21.

The following action must be taken by the KPK is to provide an explanation to employees regarding the consequences of TWK in the form of a valid document. Including the results of the assessment of each employee.

The reason is, if the assessment is referred to as a tool to measure someone, then the party who runs the test must know the results. The goal is that improvements can be made by employees based on existing results.

Robert said this corrective step was conveyed so that the results of the TWK became input for improvement and did not become the basis for dismissing 75 KPK employees. "The KPK employees who were declared TMS were given the opportunity to improve through official education about national insight," he said.

Next, the Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia also conveyed corrective steps that must be taken by BKN. These steps include reviewing existing regulations and compiling a roadmap related to mechanisms, instruments, and preparation of assessors for the transition of employee status to ASN.

These various steps, said Robert, are expected to be carried out by the leaders of the two institutions. The two institutions are given 30 days to respond and monitoring will be carried out by the Ombudsman.

If within 30 days these corrective steps are not taken, the Ombudsman will provide recommendations that must be implemented within 60 days and there will be no further extension of time.

If the two steps are not carried out by the KPK and BKN, then President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) is advised to take over the authority of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) staffing officer.

In addition to the suggestion to take over, ORI believes that Jokowi also needs to develop the Chairman of the KPK, Firli Bahuri; Head of BKN, Bima Haria Wibisana; Minister of Law and Human Rights, Yasonna Laoly; Head of the State Administration Agency (LAN), Adi Suryanto; and Empowerment of State Apparatus and Bureaucratic Reform, Tjahjo Kumolo.

"The president needs to provide guidance to the Chairman of the KPK, Head of BKN, Head of LAN, Menkumham and Menpan RB to improve policies and personnel administration that is oriented to the principles of good governance," said Robert.

President Jokowi, continued Robert, was also asked to monitor BKN, especially regarding the preparation of the personnel management roadmap, in particular the mechanisms, instruments, and preparation of assessors for the transition of employee status to ASN in the future.

Even so, the Ombudsman hopes that this suggestion does not reach President Jokowi. "If not, then in the end it will return to the President as the highest holder of government administrative power, executive power and the highest PPK (personnel development official) nationally," he concluded.
