"We will of course carry out a thorough evaluation of all parties. This means that the mechanism for monitoring employees, how the mechanism for providing security and guaranteeing the comfort of working for all employees at KPI, will be a thorough evaluation," said KPI Commissioner Nuning Rodiyah when contacted by VOI, Thursday, 2 September.

Central KPI, he continued, regretted if MS's confession was proven to have occurred in their environment. In addition, Nuning emphasized that his institution will not tolerate any form of violence, both sexual and verbal, bullying or bullying.

"Therefore, we at KPI are also compiling steps to then resolve this issue," he said.

Regarding internal investigations, he said, today it is planned that seven employees suspected of sexually harassing and bullying MS will be investigated.

However, the results will not be announced after the examination. The reason is that the Central KPI will try to obtain comprehensive data related to MS's recognition.

As previously reported, MS said he was a victim of sexual harassment and bullying by seven of his more senior colleagues.

One of the sexual harassments she experienced was in 2015, when the perpetrators violently grabbed her head, hands, feet, stripped her naked, stabbed her, and abused her.

"(They, ed) harassed me by scribbling on my testicles using markers," said MS in a chain message he sent because he felt it was his last resort.

"This incident traumatized me and I lost my emotional stability. How can this kind of evil harassment happen at the Central KPI? What kind of syndicate is the perpetrator? They even documented my gender and made me powerless against them after the tragedy," he added.

As a result of the harassment and bullying he received, MS's mentality changed and he experienced severe stress, humiliation, and severe trauma. In fact, he admitted, often shouted to himself in the middle of the night.
