JAKARTA - Deputy Chairperson of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Nurul Ghufron denied that there was a deposit issue during the National Insight Test Assessment (TWK) to get rid of a number of employees. The news has never been heard from within the leadership.

"Once again, we don't know if there is any deposit (question, red)," said Ghufron after being asked for confirmation by Komnas HAM in Jakarta, Thursday, June 17 yesterday.

He also emphasized that the TWK process, which was a condition for the transfer of employment status, had never targeted certain people. Ghufron called this test run objectively.

"Is this TWK really targeting or targeting certain people? So once again, as far as I know everything is going objectively," he said.

"Even to the KPK's struggle to then fight from 75 to 51, everything is not based on names but based on criteria indicators," added Ghufron.

It was previously reported that Nurul Ghufron, who came to represent other KPK leaders, had conveyed all matters related to the implementation of TWK including the legal basis.

The submission of this information was carried out at the Komnas HAM Office to investigate alleged violations reported by representatives of 75 employees who were declared not to have passed the test. At that time, he explained about the implementation of TWK to the inauguration of their employees as ASN based on Perkom Number 1 of 2020.

Not only that, he stated that the implementation of the TWK was in collaboration with the State Civil Service Agency (BKN). This is also based on the regulations of the commission he mentioned.

"Based on Perkom Number 1 of 2021 article 5 paragraph 4 that the implementation of the national insight test is carried out by the KPK in collaboration with BKN, that is the basis for its implementation," he said.

Ghufron then detailed that the TWK was carried out in March 2021 until he was finally appointed as ASN on June 1, 2021. A total of 1,271 KPK employees have been appointed while 75 KPK employees have not been appointed because they do not meet the TWK requirements.

"So we explained to Komnas HAM regarding legal standing, the legal basis of authority, then regulatory policies, and the implementation of the transfer of KPK employees to ASN which was carried out on June 1, 2021," he said.
