JAKARTA - Head of the inactive Anti-Corruption Learning Task Force (Kasatgas), Hotman Tambunan asked the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to open the results of the National Insight Test (TWK) assessment.

He asked the KPK not to look for any more excuses to cover up the results of the TWK. This was conveyed because they never received an answer to their request for information on the results of the TWK. In fact, the requested results have been submitted from the State Civil Service Agency (BKN) to the KPK since April 27.

"We shouldn't have to wait for coordination between the two institutions because the results we asked for were specific, namely those that have been submitted from BKN to the KPK," Hotman said in his statement to reporters, Monday, July 19.

He also said that the Information and Data Management Officer (PPID), the Secretary General and the KPK leadership did not respond to requests for information disclosure. In fact, the submission was made since June 30 and has passed the time stipulated by law.

The legislation in question is Law Number 14 of 2008 concerning Public Information Disclosure. The law states that public bodies are required to submit a written notification no later than 10 working days.

Furthermore, Hotman said, the data and information on the results of the TWK is important because it relates to the leadership's decision to determine 75 unqualified employees (TMS) to be transferred to state civil servants (ASN).

In this result, there is an explanation of the need for further guidance for KPK employees. "As long as there is no explanation about the results of the TWK, then there should be no reason to carry out further training, because it is not clear which areas need strengthening," he said.

In addition, the results of this TWK are important because they have a significant impact on employees. First, the employees were declared ineligible and asked to hand over their duties and responsibilities to their immediate superiors.

Second, employees are stigmatized as citizens who are disobedient, disloyal, and cannot be nurtured because of problems with terms of loyalty and obedience to Pancasila, the 1945 Constitution, the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, and the legitimate government.

Thus, dozens of these employees demanded that the KPK immediately provide results and did not look for reasons not to open it.

"There is no longer any need for excuses or justifications for not giving us results, the KPK as a public institution that also sells anti-corruption, should maintain transparency and accountability as the spirit of eradicating corruption to remain trusted by the public," he concluded.
