TWK KPK Allegedly To Tackle Investigators Who Are Still 'Red And White'

KPK / ANTARA Building

JAKARTA - The polemic of the national insight test (TWK) of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) employees for their status change to the state civil apparatus (ASN) has led to speculation of alleged attempts to prevent senior investigator Novel Baswedan.

DPR Commission II member Nasir Djamil considered that Novel Baswedan's failure to pass the test was still limited to public speculation that needed instruments for proof.

"But if you look at the narrative of the weakening of the KPK, it is not impossible that public speculation contains the truth. Therefore, the test in public judgment is not only suspected of tackling NB, but also presumably to tackle investigators and KPK employees who are still red and white and upright," Nasir said to reporters, Friday, May 7.

Nasir said that he had asked the Minister of State Apparatus Empowerment for Bureaucratic Reform, Tjahjo Kumolo, not to carry out a basic test in the transition of the status of KPK employees.

"I have told the Minister of PAN and RB, for those who have certain abilities or skills, what should be used as a reference is a field competency test, not a basic competency test containing questions of general knowledge and nationality," he said.

Because according to the PKS politician, matters of national insight can be done while walking. "The national insight can be carried out in an 'on going process'," said Nasir.

WP KPK Reveals Irregularities

Chairperson of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Employee Center Yudi Purnomo spoke about odd questions during the National Insight Test (TWK) interview. Yudi admitted that he was asked whether he, as a Muslim, would like to say happy holidays to people of other religions.

This then surprised him. Because, he is often done giving happy holidays to people of other religions and has become a common thing.

"I was surprised when I had a question about whether I would like to wish people of other faiths a happy holiday," said Yudi in his statement to reporters, Friday, May 7.

As a Muslim, he continued, he was not just giving words. Yudi, who is the Chairman of the KPK WP, often attended Christmas events with employees in his office and even gave remarks.

"In fact, I even invited my wife who was wearing a veil and we were warmly welcomed by celebrating friends," he said.

Not only that, when the COVID-19 pandemic occurred, Christmas celebrations were still carried out online. "And I also gave a speech," he said.

He considered that the interviewer should have received information that the habit of saying happy holidays to employees of other religions is something that is usually done either through short messages or in person.

Even so, when he was interviewed in the test, he emphasized that religious differences in the KPK are common. Because, the most important thing is cooperation in eradicating corruption.
