Chairman of KPK Firli Bahuri (DOK Humas KPK)

JAKARTA - Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Firli Bahuri said the determination of the fate of 75 employees, including senior investigator Novel Baswedan is done next week.

Discussions with various relevant agencies were conducted after dozens of employees were declared ineligible for the National Insight Test Assessment (TWK) which became a condition of transfer of employee status.

"Certainly on Tuesday, May 25, we will have intensive discussions for the completion of 75 KPK employees, our colleagues, my brothers," Firli said at a press conference at the Merah Putih KPK building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Thursday, May 20.

Firli Bahuri said that it will coordinate with the State Personnel Agency (BKN) and the Ministry of Finance. In addition, the antirasuah commission will also cooperate with the Ministry of Civil Apparatus,[1] the State Civil Apparatus Commission (KASN), and the State Administrative Agency (LAN).

But Firli does not yet know the fate of the employees in a joint meeting that will be held this week.

"Therefore we do not dare to give a response from the beginning because we have to work together with the ministries of the next institution is kpk remains effective, KPK continues to work hard to eradicate corruption," he said.

But Firli said the discussion will certainly go complicated. Because, the coordination must be done with other institutions that have been mentioned.

"Following up can not be with one finger, can not only KPK, because it is related to the ministries of other institutions," he said.

He also denied that he did not obey the orders of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) to immediately coordinate with the State Personnel Agency (BKN) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Because, coordination has been done not only against the two institutions but also other institutions.

"There is a MenpanRB (Tjahjo Kumolo), there is a Ministry of Finance that regulates the regulation there is the State Civil Apparatus Commission (KASN), there are state administrative institutions, there are Menpan RB and there is bkn this is what we cooperate," said Firli.

He understands the public wants these 75 employees back to work. However, kpk needs time to process all existing regulations.

"We kpk leadership and the secretary general including with all structural officials, continue to work with no comment," he said.

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

Meanwhile, 75 employees including Novel Baswedan, Chairman of kpk employee container who is also an investigator Yudi Purnomo, Director of Socialization and Anti-Corruption Campaign KPK Giri Suprapdiono, Kasatgas KPK Harun Al-Rasyid, and Director pjkaki Sujarnarko declared ineligible (TMS). The other two employees were not present in the interview.

The public then polished until finally President Jokowi gave a response. The former Governor of DKI Jakarta stated that kpk must have the best human resources and be highly committed in efforts to eradicate corruption.

Therefore, the transfer of kpk employee status to state civil apparatus (ASN) should be part of efforts to eradicate corruption more systematically.

According to Jokowi, the results of national insight tests on KPK employees should be input for anticorruption agency improvement measures both individually, and institutionally. He stressed that twk assessment results were not the basis for dismissing 75 employees who were declared ineligible.
