JAKARTA - Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Firli Bahuri confirmed the policy of deactivating 75 employees who failed the National Insight Test Assessment (TWK) is not just his decision. Firli called this decision a joint decision of other high-ranking officials in the KPK.

In the meeting, the former Deputy Of Kpk Crackdown confirmed that all parties voted to related follow-up to employees who did not qualify.

Therefore, Firli denied the statements of some who called himself secretly deactivating dozens of his employees. Because, the process has been discussed openly.

"So there's nothing we can close," he said.

In addition, Firli also explained that his party is awaiting the decision of the Constitutional Court (MK) against the KPK Law No. 19 of 2019. The reason is that he doesn't want the anti-corruption commission to precede the verdict that was struck down on May 4.
