Not Passed The National Insight Test, 18 KPK Employees Are Inaugurated As Civil Servants Today

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will inaugurate 18 of its employees as State Civil Apparatus (ASN) today, Wednesday, September 15.

The dozens of employees are part of the 24 KPK employees who did not pass the National Insight Test (TWK) and have been declared to have passed the state defense training and national insight training.

The inauguration will be carried out by the Secretary-General of the KPK, Cahya H Harefa.

"The Corruption Eradication Commission this afternoon will inaugurate 18 employees as State Civil Apparatus", Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement Ali Fikri told reporters, Wednesday, September 15.

He explained that this inauguration was carried out after dozens of these employees carried out training at the Indonesian Defense University. At that time, they had received training materials including basic, core, and supporting studies.

Through basic studies, what they learn is related to national insight (4 Basic Consensus of the State), Sishankamrata, leadership with an insight into state defense, as well as prevention and overcoming of terrorism, radicalism, and social conflict.

Next in the core study, they are given education on the development of values and basic skills of defending the country. Meanwhile, supporting studies are related to the opening and closing ceremonies, local content (KPK), as well as guidance and care.

Furthermore, Ali explained that the inauguration and transfer of employment status by anti-corruption commission employees is a mandate from Law No. 19 of 2019 or the revised KPK Law.

The dozens of employees will later rejoin after being sworn in and strengthen the performance of eradicating corruption through their work units.

For information, as many as 75 KPK employees were initially declared unsuccessful or did not meet the requirements in the TWK assessment process as a condition for employee status transfer. Of this number, 24 of them can be trained, although recently only 18 have participated in the training for State Defense and National Insight.

So the total number of employees who are considered unable to be trained and do not want to carry out training because their request for clarity on the results of the TWK has not been given is 56 people.

Later, dozens of people such as KPK investigator Novel Baswedan, Ambarita Damanik, Yudi Purnomo, and others will be fired at the end of October according to the implementation limit for the transfer of status.
