JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said that from the start, it chose not to announce which employees did not pass the National Insight Assessment (TWK). This was done as an effort to protect the 75 employees who failed this test.

"So (there may be, red) intimidation or labeling that we are worried about (if the name is revealed, red). We are protecting it," said KPK Deputy Chairman Nurul Ghufron in a press conference at the KPK's Red and White House, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Thursday, May 27. .

He said that since the beginning, the KPK had never announced any 75 employees who had not passed. This is solely to ensure confidentiality.

The KPK leadership, continued Ghufron, from the beginning made sure to announce the TWK results directly to each employee. "(This, red) is to ensure that the public does not have a reference, 'oh he said the TMS is from the KPK'," he said.

"So we have never announced it to the public. So please understand it is in order to protect all my friends," added Ghufron.

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. As a result, 51 KPK employees were confirmed to be fired from their jobs because they received red ponten from assessors.

Furthermore, for the 24 employees who can still be appointed as employees, state defense education and national insight will be carried out. It's just that, the time and place will still be discussed at a later date.

Related to this, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) senior investigator Novel Baswedan admitted he objected to the dismissal of 51 employees who failed the National Insight Test (TWK) assessment. He assessed that those who were fired could be labeled as adherents of radicalism, as is the issue that is widely circulating today.

Novel said that these employees were citizens who had been struggling to eradicate corruption. However, because they do not pass TWK, it is not impossible that they will get a negative stigma from the community and even be threatened with being expelled from their jobs.

"There will be stigmatization of KPK employees who are accused of abuse of power as if they have problems in nationality or other things called radicals or whatever," Novel told reporters at the Komnas HAM Office, Jalan Latuharhary, Central Jakarta, Thursday, May 27th.
