MAKASSAR - Chairman of the Makassar State University Internal Supervisory Unit (SPI) Jamaluddin clarified the allegations of alleged Illegal Charges (Pungli) for the recruitment of Candidates for Civil Servants (CPNS) as false news.

The news was allegedly deliberately rolled by certain parties to interfere with the succession of the UNM Chancellor Election.

"The name extortion involves two parties, the giver and the recipient. As long as it doesn't exist, it becomes slander and deliberately finds fault," said Jamal as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, April 8.

He emphasized that the report reported to the South Sulawesi Regional Police regarding the allegations was untrue and baseless and tended to be slander that could damage the image of the UNM academic community.

Jamaluddin explained that the Inspectorate General of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Research and Technology had handled this case long before the rector election process, and even formed a Fact Finding Team. But so far the Itjen Kemdikbud Ristek team has not found any allegations of Extortion and has not provided a link.

In addition, UNM management emphasized that the campus has no authority in the process of graduation of Candidates for Civil Servants (CPNS). The authority was fully decided by the National Selection Committee (Panselnas).

For more information regarding the CPNS selection process, it can be found in the Regulation of the Minister of Administrative Reform and Bureaucratic Reform (PAN-RB) Number 27 of 2021 concerning the Procurement of Civil Servants.

As the head of the institution, UNM Chancellor Prof Husain Syam has also clarified the South Sulawesi Regional Police as a cooperative attitude and is a commitment in resolving the case.

However, Jamil fully supports the steps taken by the South Sulawesi Regional Police in investigating the case in order to get clarity and clarity, because it is suspected that the motive for reporting was to overthrow the chancellor candidates who had more votes than their rivals.

"We hope that if later it is not proven, the Regional Police must confirm that this case is not proven so that it is considered clear," he added.

Separately, the UNM Chancellor Candidate and Dean of the UNM Faculty of Sports and Health Sciences (FIKK), Prof. Dr. Hasmyati, stated that the alleged extortion reported to the South Sulawesi Regional Police was in the form of baseless recordings.

"The recorded voice circulating is also not true. There is no levy for those who are accepted as ASN," he said in response to reports that seemed unbalanced and cornered him.

Hasmyati emphasized that this case was allegedly deliberately raised by certain groups who tried to thwart it as a candidate for the UNM Chancellor for the 2024-2028 period after obtaining the most votes from their rivals as a result of the re-election of the UNM Chancellor.

"Let's prioritize common sense and be polite to welcome the succession of leadership in UNM," he said briefly.
