JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Nurul Ghufron said the five leaders had tried to fight for the fate of 75 employees who failed the National Insight Test (TWK) assessment. However, their efforts still failed due to system differences in status transition.

"We all are not only fighting for them but we love them all. However, we also have to understand that there are differences in the system between KPK employees and the state civil apparatus (ASN)," Ghufron said in a press conference at the Red and White KPK building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Thursday, May 27th.

This difference is in the form of a number of requirements that must be followed by KPK employees to change their status from independent to ASN. According to him, so far, thousands of KPK employees, both permanent and non-permanent, have carried out the competency test requirements and the data is still available from third parties who carried out the tests at that time.

Meanwhile, regarding the implementation of TWK, this has not been implemented and must be done as a condition for status transfer to prove the requirements in PP 41/2020, namely being loyal to Pancasila and NKRI, as well as the legitimate government.

"TWK is legal and legal as a mechanism to ensure KPK employees when transferring employment status," he said.

So, based on the results of TWK, the KPK can only accept those who qualify as ASN. Moreover, the five leaders are aware that the existence of the KPK is not only due to sophisticated buildings or equipment.

"But especially human resources, human resources," he said.

Previously reported, the KPK has held a coordination meeting to discuss the fate of 75 employees who failed the National Insight Assessment (TWK) and were disabled. Apart from the KPK and the National Civil Service Agency (BKN), this meeting was also attended by the Minister of Law and Human Rights Yasonna Laoly and MenPANRB Tjahjo Kumolo.

As a result, 51 KPK employees out of a total of 75 employees who did not pass TWK were confirmed to be fired from their jobs as of 1 November. While 24 employees are still possible for guidance.

The National Insight Test (TWK) was attended by 1,351 KPK employees. Of these, 1,274 people were declared eligible.

Meanwhile, 75 employees including Novel Baswedan, Chairman of the KPK Employee Council who is also investigator Yudi Purnomo, Director of Anti-Corruption Socialization and Campaign Giri Suprapdiono, KPK Head of Task Force Harun Al-Rasyid, and Director of PJKAKI Sujarnarko were declared ineligible (TMS). Next, two other employees did not attend the interview test.
