KPK/ANTARA

JAKARTA - Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Firli Bahuri responded to the news about the dismissal of Novel Baswedan and the other head of the KPK Task Force (Kasatgas) that was circulating.

Firli admitted that he did not know about the news. This is because the KPK leadership has yet to disclose the results of the national insight test even though it has been sent since 27 April.

"Until now, the leadership has not disclosed the results of the national insight test. The results of the national insight test were received by the secretary general of the National Civil Service Agency (BKN) on April 27, 2021 and until now it has not been opened," said Firli in his written statement, Monday, May 3.

He said the results of the assessment had just been received by the KPK Secretary General. So, he asked the public not to speculate excessively.

Previously reported, the KPK was said to be going to fire a number of its employees, including Novel Baswedan and other Head of the Task Force (Kasatgas).

This dismissal is called due to the results of the national insight test, which is one of the conditions for switching status as a state civil servant (ASN).

Responding to this, Acting KPK spokesman Ali Fikri said that his party had indeed received the results of the national insight test from the State Civil Service Agency (BKN). This result was received by the anti-gas commission on April 27 yesterday.

"However, the results so far are not yet known because the information we received from the data has not been announced," Ali said in a written statement to reporters, Monday, May 3.

Meanwhile, regarding the news circulating, Ali admitted that he did not know in more detail. He said he would only clarify with the employee assessment results.

"The KPK ensures that it will convey the results to the public in the near future and we will inform them further," he said.

The Corruption Eradication Commission recently collaborated with the National Civil Service Agency (BKN) to conduct an assessment of national insight for its employees.

This assessment was carried out as a follow-up to the status transfer of KPK employees to state civil servants (ASN).

In this assessment, first, employees will undergo a national integrity test which is carried out to assess consistency in terms of organizational values, norms and ethics. Next, they will also undergo a neutrality test.

This neutrality test is carried out to assess the impartiality of employees to any form of influence from any party and any party. In addition, there is also an anti-radicalism test to assess employee loyalty to Pancasila, the 1945 Constitution, the Republic of Indonesia and the legitimate government.
