JAKARTA - Secretary General (Sekjen) of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Cahya H. Harefa said the results of the employee assessment were still sealed. This assessment is a prerequisite for transferring the status of an anti-gas commission employee to become the state civilian apparatus (ASN).

This was conveyed by him as well as responding to the news about the dismissal of senior investigator Novel Baswedan, the Head of the KPK Task Force (Kasatgas), and a number of other employees because they did not pass the national insight test assessment.

"Currently, the results of the assessment of the national insight test are still sealed and stored safely at the KPK's Red and White House," Cahya said in a written statement to reporters, Tuesday, May 4.

It is planned that the announcement of the results of this assessment will be delivered in the near future. "As a form of transparency to all KPK stakeholders," he said.

Furthermore, Cahya explained that the assessment of 1,349 KPK employees had been received by his party since 27 April. Thousands of these employees participated in the assessment which is a requirement for the transfer of employee status as stipulated in Commission Regulation Number 1 of 2021 concerning Procedures for the Transfer of KPK Employees to ASN.

In addition, as a KPK institution, it must indeed transfer the status of employees because it is in accordance with the mandate of the revised KPK law.

"Institutionally, the KPK is subject to the regulation that the transfer of KPK employees to ASN is the mandate of Law Number 19 of 2019 concerning the Second Amendment to Law Number 30 of 2002 concerning the Corruption Eradication Commission," said Cahya.

Previously reported, the KPK is working with the State Personnel 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.

These tests are being carried out for the first time. Because, since the beginning of being a KPK employee, they have never conducted an assessment of the three materials.
