JAKARTA - The Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Setyo Budiyanto said that the insistence of former employees who were eliminated because they failed the national insight test (TWK) would be examined and studied. This process will be carried out by the legal bureau to the kesekjenan section.
This was conveyed by Setyo when asked about the request of a number of former employees after the Public Information Commission (KIP) granted a lawsuit regarding the opening of the TWK document on Monday, February 23.
"Yes, I will convey it to the legal office for Mr. Secretary General (KPK Secretary General Cahya H. Harefa) and the legal office to study it first, study what was delivered or what was the result obtained. That's all for now my response," said Setyo to reporters in Jakarta, Tuesday, February 24.
Meanwhile, KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo said his agency would follow up on the post-decision developments read by the KIP Assembly. However, he ensured that his agency respected the outcome of the dispute.
"We will both follow the developments after the resolution of the dispute in this KIP," Budi told reporters in a written statement, Monday, February 23.
As previously reported, the lawsuit of 57 former employees of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) who are members of the Indonesia Memanggil (IM) 57+ Institute at the Public Information Commission (KIP) was granted. The national insight test (TWK) document that made them eliminated must be opened to applicants.
The verdict on Case Number XI/KIP-PS/2021 was read on Monday, February 23. Rospita Vici Paulyn became the Chairperson of the KIP Assembly while Arya Sandhiyudha and Samrotunnajah Ismail were members.
"Declaring that the information requested by the Applicant as referred to in paragraph 4.28 is only partially Open Information for the Applicant, as long as there is no information regarding the other party's private secrets as outlined in Article 17 letter h numbers 4 and 5 of the KIP Law," said Rospita when reading the verdict at Wisma BSG Annex Building, Central Jakarta.
Regarding this decision, the Chairman of the IM 57+ Institute, Lakso Anindito, urged the KPK to re-employ employees who were dismissed due to the national insight test (TWK) in 2021. According to him, there is no longer any reason to delay the return.
"This step is one of a series of advocacy for the return of 57 KPK employees. Through this decision, it should be further confirmed that there is no reason to delay the return of 57 employees to the KPK by the President," said Lakso in a written statement, Monday, February 23.
The same thing was conveyed by Praswad Nugraha, another former investigator who is also waiting for the KPK's attitude. Because, the KPK some time ago said it was waiting for the results of the KIP trial.
"Today, the result has come out. Therefore, the public is waiting for real action, not just normative statements. Consistency between words and actions is a measure of institutional integrity," he said in a written statement.
Praswad assessed that rehabilitation for employees who were removed from the KPK due to TWK must be carried out immediately. Because, this condition makes them then get a stigma of not being pancasilais to destroy the lives of employees.
"The President has also stated that there is no problem in rehabilitating the victim of TWK. Therefore, steps to rehabilitate the good name must be taken immediately," said Praswad.
"We are experiencing a character massacre. We are labeled 'red', accused of not being Pancasilais, considered no longer able to be raised as an Indonesian human being. This stigma not only hurts individuals, but also damages public reason about who is actually standing at the forefront of eradicating corruption."
