JAKARTA - As many as 24 employees of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will undergo a flash education (training) for State Defense and National Insight on Tuesday, July 20.

Those who took part in this activity were KPK employees who were declared not to have passed the National Insight Test (TWK).

"The plan for implementing State Defense and National Insights training is still planned for July 20, 2021," said KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri to reporters, Wednesday, July 14.

The program, place, location and materials in the implementation of the National Defense and National Insight training are planned by the Indonesian Ministry of Defense (Kemenhan).

"We have signed a cooperation agreement with the Indonesian Ministry of Defense. The Secretary General of the KPK is working with the Secretary General of the Indonesian Ministry of Defense," he said.

This quick education program will be followed by dozens of KPK employees for 30 days.

Previously reported, in the process of transitioning KPK employees to State Civil Apparatus (ASN) there were 75 people who were declared failed because they did not pass the TWK.

Those who did not qualify included senior investigator Novel Baswedan, Chairman of the KPK Employee Forum who is also investigator Yudi Purnomo, Director of Socialization and Anti-Corruption Campaign Giri Suprapdiono, Head of the KPK Task Force Harun Al-Rasyid as well as a number of other investigators and investigators.

This then raises the issue of targeting these employees, especially those who handle high-profile corruption cases.

Furthermore, those who did not pass were deactivated so that they could not carry out their duties as KPK employees. However, the KPK recently said it would fire 51 of their 75 employees who were declared unsuccessful because they could not be trained.

While the rest, as many as 24 employees will be trained first through education in defending the country and national insight, but they can also be fired if they are declared not to have passed.
