JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed that it has sent a letter of objection to the final report on the results of the Indonesian Ombudsman's examination regarding the National Insight Test (TWK).

This letter was sent today, Friday, August 6 and the confirmation was conveyed by the Deputy Chairperson of the KPK, Nurul Ghufron.

"(It was sent, red) this morning," said Ghufron when confirmed by VOI, Friday, August 6.

Similarly, Acting Spokesperson for the KPK for Enforcement, Ali Fikri, also said that a letter had been sent. This is a follow-up to the statement made by the anti-corruption commission last Thursday, August 5th.

"This morning the KPK's objection letter to the said LAHP has been submitted to the Indonesian Ombudsman," said Ali.

As previously reported, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has expressed objections and will not carry out any corrective actions submitted by the Indonesian Ombudsman after maladministration and abuse of authority were found in the TWK implementation process.

There are 13 points of objection from the KPK which resulted in the refusal to carry out corrective actions according to the report of the Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia.

Among these points, the anti-corruption commission considers the Ombudsman to have violated the legal obligation to refuse reports or stop the examination of reports that are known to be under court examination.

The KPK also considers that the legal standing of the reporter, namely the employees who are declared not to have passed the TWK, are not the recipients of KPK services as the party entitled to report to the Ombudsman.

Not only that, the anti-corruption commission said that the corrective actions from the results of the Indonesian Ombudsman's report had no causal relationship and conflicted between the conclusions and the final report.
