Acting KPK spokesperson for prosecution Ali Fikri (ANTARA)

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has responded to the perceived irregularity in the questions and interview material for the National Insight Test (TWK). This test is also a condition for transitioning employee status from independent to state civilian apparatus (ASN).

Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement Affairs Ali Fikri emphasized that this TWK was held by the State Civil Service Agency (BKN). The material for the questions being asked was not compiled by the KPK.

"The National Civil Service Agency will conduct the National Insight Test. In implementing the TWK, BKN involves the State Intelligence Agency (BIN), the TNI Strategic Intelligence Agency (BAIS-TNI), the Indonesian Army Intelligence Center (Pusintel TNI AD), TNI Psychology Service. The Army (DISPSIAD) and the National Counterterrorism Agency (BNPT), "Ali said in his statement to reporters, Friday, May 7.

"All test kits in the form of questions and interview material are prepared by BKN together with these institutions," he added.

Ali explained, before the interview was conducted, the interviewer had equated the perception with the institution. Not only that, the questions given were also developed from written tests that had been carried out by previous employees.

"From the information we received from KPK employees, there are a number of questions that need to be answered by employees, some of which are related to worship procedures and family life choices," he said.

Ali continued this assessment is intended to measure the strengthening of the integrity and neutrality of ASN. However, the KPK still received input from the public who questioned the relevance of some material in interviews that were not related to their main duties and functions.

"And in our opinion, this could be input for the assessment organizers," said Ali.

Meanwhile, regarding the competency aspect, the KPK employee called Ali had met the requirements at the time of testing at the beginning of recruitment. "So that this aspect is not re-tested," he explained.

Previously reported, Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Employee Office Yudi Purnomo spoke up about the 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.

In addition, former KPK spokesman Febri Diansyah also talked about the interview questions in the test which were one of the conditions for transferring the status of KPK employees. There are four questions and one of them is whether KPK employees are willing to become second wives.

"Is this question appropriate & appropriate to be asked by KPK employees to measure national insight," he said as quoted on his Twitter @febridiansyah.

Not only asked whether he was willing to be a second wife, there were other questions such as why he was not married, whether he still had the desire, and what to do if he was dating.

"If it is true that the question is asked by an interviewer to a KPK employee during the national insight test, I really run out of words and am confused about what exactly is being aimed at and what is the meaning of national insight," he said.
