Preventing Negative Stigma, The Corruption Eradication Commission Employees Ask For The National Insight Test Results Again

KPK/ANTARA

JAKARTA - Employees of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) who were declared unsuccessful asked for the results of the National Insight Test (TWK) once again. This request was made because of the emergence of negative stigma against employees who were declared ineligible in the test.

"This result is important to know because the result has a significant impact on employees", said Head of the inactive KPK Anti-Corruption Learning Task Force Hotman Tambunan to reporters, Wednesday, June 30.

There are two effects that he called. First, 75 employees have to hand over their duties and responsibilities to their immediate superiors and they cannot work.

Second, the employees were branded as disobedient, disloyal citizens, and could no longer be nurtured. This stigma arises because they are considered problematic in terms of loyalty and obedience to Pancasila, the 1945 Constitution, the Republic of Indonesia, and the legitimate government so that they do not meet the requirements to become State Civil Apparatus (ASN).

"Or at least become a citizen who must be specially trained and assessed again to fulfill the requirements to become an ASN", he said.

According to Hotman, if the two points are punishments based on the results of the TWK, they must get the results. Moreover, this assessment has received a lot of public attention, so the data must be disclosed in order to prevent the development of unnecessary opinions.

Hotman asked that the results of the TWK be given in the form of photocopies that were legalized or ratified by the KPK. He hopes that with this new request, the anti-corruption commission can immediately provide employees with the results of the TWK and not issue a specific reason again.

Moreover, the data has been submitted by the State Civil Service Agency (BKN) to the KPK since Tuesday, April 27 at the Ministry of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform of the Republic of Indonesia (KemenPANRB) office.

Hotman understands that in the data there are personal characteristics related to other people's results. Hotman said that the test result data is private so it is included in the category of excluded data and information as stated in Article 17 letters g and h of Law Number 14 of 2008 concerning Openness of Public Information.

So with this request for data, Hotman gave written approval to the officer to open, read, and make a copy of it in the context of processing this request as required by Article 18 paragraph (2) letter a of Law Number 14 of 2008 concerning Openness of Public Information.

"If there are other people's data on the same sheet, it can be blackened so that it is no longer legible, I just want to see my data", said Hotman.

In addition, he also emphasized that the request for TWK results that he did currently did not invalidate the previous request which consisted of eight points that had not been given until now.

"Hopefully this time the KPK will not look for other reasons not to give us results, because we have the right to see our own results", he concluded.
