Baswedan Novels (ANTARA)

JAKARTA - Senior investigator of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Novel Baswedan and 74 other employees who were declared not to pass the National Insight Test assessment (TWK) were disabled.

This assessment is a condition of transfer of kpk employee status from the formerly independent to the state civil apparatus (ASN).

This deactivation of dozens of employees is based on the Decree of the Kpk Leadership No. 652 of 2021. The letter signed by KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri was set on May 7 and a valid copy was signed plh Head of HUMAN RESOURCES Bureau Yonathan Demme Tangdilintin.

There are four points in the decree. First, determine the name of the employee in the attachment of the decree does not qualify TMS in order to transfer the status of employees.

"Second, instruct employees as referred to in the first dictum to hand over duties and responsibilities to the supervisor directly while awaiting further decisions," the decree said on Tuesday, March 11.

Furthermore, establishing attachments in this decision is an integral part of this decision.

Finally, this decision is valid from the date specified. If there is a mistake in this decision in the future, it will be corrected accordingly.

This letter was then responded by Novel Baswedan. He said the decree should have informed the results of the National Insight Test (TWK) assessment instead of deactivating the employees.

Thus, the letter issued was considered as evidence of Firli Bahuri's arbitrariness as chairman of the KPK.

"The decree on the results of the twk assessment is not a dismissal but the contents instead request that the employee is intended to submit duties and responsibilities (nonjob). I think it is an arbitrary act of the Chairman of the KPK," Novel told reporters in his written statement.

He said this arbitrary action should attract attention and should be of concern. Because, he assessed, this condition illustrates the serious problems that exist in the internal KPK.

"And as a result of these arbitrary actions, the investigators or investigators who handle the case are told to stop handling the case," he said.

Not only that, this incident also caused losses for those who want to eradicate corruption. "And it further illustrates the ambition to get rid of employees with integrity at all costs," Novel said.

Previously reported, the National Insight Test (TWK) was followed by 1,351 employees. Of these, 1,274 were declared eligible.

Then other employees including Novel Baswedan, Chairman of kpk employee forum who is also an investigator Yudi Purnomo, Director of Socialization and Anti-Corruption Campaign KPK Giri Suprapdiono and 72 other employees were declared ineligible (TMS). While two employees were not present in the interview test.
