JAKARTA - The Minister for Administrative Reform and Bureaucratic Reform (MenPANRB) Tjahjo Kumolo opened his voice regarding the decision to dismiss 75 employees of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) who did not pass the national insight test (TWK).

This at the same time answered the KPK's statement which shifted the responsibility to the Ministry of PAN-RB and the State Civil Service Agency (BKN) of the Republic of Indonesia.

"How come it is returned to PAN-RB, what is the legal basis for this? This is an internal KPK household. I do not know, from the start this is an internal problem of the KPK," said Tjahjo to reporters, Wednesday, May 5.

He admits that he is confused about receiving the responsibility because he does not have a legal basis. According to him, since the beginning of the ASN selection examination it was an internal problem of the KPK.

Not only that, he admitted that he did not know if the anti-graft commission would communicate with KemenPANRB.

Furthermore, Tjahjo explained that the ASN test for KPK employees was the full authority of the KPK leadership based on the regulations of the KPK commissioners. In the selection examination, the KPK cooperates with BKN and the results go directly to the head of the institution.

Thus, decisions regarding the results of TWK are in the hands of the KPK leadership, not left to the KemenPANRB.

"KemenPAN-RB does not participate in the KPK employee test process regarding the national interview / according to the KPK commissioner regulations, this is the authority of the KPK leadership," he said.

"The basis for the KPK employee test is that the Kpk KemenPAN-RB commissioner regulation does not participate in the national insight test process, the collaboration between the KPK and BKN, the decision from the test interview team, the results are submitted to the KPK leadership, so it's finished," added the PDI Perjuangan politician.

As previously reported, the Secretary General of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Cahya H. Harefa said that his party would communicate directly with the relevant KemenPAN-RB and BKN to continue with 75 employees who were declared ineligible for the national insight test.

Cahya said, as long as MenPANRB and the State Personnel Agency (BKN), the KPK has not been able to decide on the employment status of the 75 people who did not pass TWK. The KPK, he said, will also not stop employees of anti-graft institutions who do not meet the requirements to become state civil servants (ASN).

"As long as there is no further explanation from the Ministry of PanRB and BKN RI, the KPK will not dismiss the 75 employees who were declared TMS," he said.
