JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) some time ago sent an objection letter to the Indonesian Ombudsman regarding the final report on the results of the examination of the National Insight Test (TWK) for its employees.

So what happened to this letter after it was received by the Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia?

RI Ombudsman member Robert Na Endi Jaweng said the letter was still being studied after it was sent on Friday, August 6 and received it. Later, all KPK objections will be processed according to the mechanism in force at the institution.

"We will process it according to the procedural mechanism at the Ombudsman," said Robert when contacted by VOI, Friday, August 13.

He gave no further information because the Ombudsman is still preparing related matters to follow up on the letter.

"Details are still being worked out," said Robert.

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 Indonesian Ombudsman.

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.
