DOK ANTARA/Novel Baswedan

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) senior investigator Novel Baswedan suspects that the National Insight Test (TWK) is an intelligence operation to get rid of employees with integrity.

Moreover, in the process there were many irregularities and the results of the TWK were referred to as state secrets so they could not be disclosed.

"There are so many problematic things and the irregularities are very obvious. And if it is said that this is a state secret or secret, the question is. If this is an intelligence operation," Novel said in an online discussion held Thursday, June 24.

As for the confidentiality of the TWK results, the Head of the State Civil Service Agency (BKN) Bima Haria Wibisana after being examined by Komnas HAM on Tuesday, June 22. He said that from the beginning his institution did not have the test results of each KPK employee.

The reason is that all institutions involved in the TWK process provide it in accumulation. The data is in the Army Psychology Service and the National Counter-Terrorism Agency (BNPT) and is confidential or cannot be made public indiscriminately.

Back to Novels. He then questioned who had ordered that dozens of employees who had worked professionally be fired from the KPK. Given, the test is a requirement for the transfer of employee status to a State Civil Apparatus (ASN).

"We at the KPK are not trying to get promoted, we are not interfering with our positions," he said.

He also questioned the profiling of KPK employees in depth, even going to the residences of a number of employees. According to him, in the various assessments he has participated in there has never been any profiling like the TWK process.

"I often follow a selection process in which there is an assessment and there is no such thing as an assessment or any test, it has a profile," he said.

Thus, these investigators suspect that the removal of KPK employees, especially those who are investigating major cases, is an intelligence operation.

"I am worried (this, red) that Kong Kalikong is extraordinary. If it is indeed an intelligence operation, then is it permissible for an intelligence operation to be carried out to get rid of people who are working well? This is dangerous and I don't think this should be allowed," he said.

"We are worried that in the future good people in other places, in ministries or other institutions or certain situations will be treated the same by people who have interests like this, this is dangerous," he concluded.
