Inactive Employees Will Be Fired, Former KPK Spokesperson: Abuse Happens Shamelessly
JAKARTA - Former Spokesperson for the Eradication Commission (KPK) Febri Diansyah regrets the plan to fire non-active KPK employees who do not pass the National Insight Test (TWK) assessment as of 30 September.
Febri admitted that it was sad to see a number of non-active employees starting to clean up their desks. They, Febri considered, were employees who were determined to eradicate corruption but were instead removed.
"We see arbitrariness happening without shame. Even those who should be able to do it actually "run" from responsibility. This is a repeating period. Worse yet! When a number of young people who are determined to eradicate corruption are actually removed by power, "Febri said in his account Febridiansyah's Twitter, Saturday, September 18th.

As someone who has worked with dozens of non-active KPK employees, Febri thinks they have one strong reason to stay in their jobs despite various efforts to get rid of them.
"Not many people know, efforts to get rid of them happen repeatedly... starting from promises of positions in BUMN, criminalization, slander, terror to TWK. Why are these young people still surviving? Simple, because of love. There is a dream. Want to see our children and grandchildren in the future live a better life without corruption," he said.
Febri understands that dozens of non-active KPK employees are sad and angry to accept their fate of dismissal. However, Febri emphasized that the struggle to eradicate corruption does not end here.
"Sad, yes. Sick, yes. Angry, yes. mixed! But I understand, we say goodbye with our heads held high. After respectfully resisting. And we also understand, the fight against corruption is not over at all. We will continue, friends. .. And, we will return. snatch it!" he said.
For information, as many as 75 KPK employees were initially declared ineligible or did not meet the requirements in the TWK assessment process as a condition for the transfer of employee status. Of this number, 24 of them can be trained, although recently only 18 have participated in the National Defense and National Insights training.
So that 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 57 people.
Those who are no longer able to work at the KPK because they do not pass the TWK and are considered unable to be fostered through state defense education and national insight include senior KPK investigators Novel Baswedan and Ambarita Damanik, Chairman of the KPK Employee Forum Yudi Purnomo, KPK investigator Harun Al-Rasyid, and dozens of other names.
57 employees who are declared not to have passed the TWK will be dismissed at the end of September. This decision was taken because they cannot become State Civil Apparatus (ASN) according to the mandate of the KPK Law Number 19 of 2019.
It's just that their inability to become ASN is not due to laws and regulations such as Perkom KPK Number 1 of 2021 but because of the results of their assessment.
The KPK also ensures that employees have been given the same opportunity even if they have passed the age limit or have stopped being ASN before.
The dismissal was carried out based on government regulation (PP) number 63 of 2005 concerning the Human Resources Management System of the KPK Articles 18 and 19 paragraph (3) letter d with the reason that the dismissal was due to organizational demands.
