JAKARTA - Former Director of Inter-Commission Network Development and Agencies (PJKAKI) KPK Sujanarko assessed that the State Civil Service Agency (BKN) did not respect the authority of the Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia as an agency supervisory agency.

The assessment was the result of the BKN's objection to the Ombudsman's conclusion regarding mala-administration in the implementation of the National Insight Test (TWK).

"The comments from the BKN press conference are similar to the KPK's objection to the ORI findings, the answers are not relevant to the ORI findings, the spirit seems to lack respect for the authority of ORI as a public service supervisory agency," said Sujanarko in his statement, Saturday, August 14.

In addition, Sujanarko also assessed that BKN in this case had exceeded its capacity. Referring to BKN regulation number 26 of 2019, where Article 31 is only used for employee development, not dismissal. Moreover, the TWK process is under the Commission Regulation (Pekom) of the KPK.

"The process is that the KPK, which is authorized to cooperate with BKN, should have submitted a method tool, even a BKN letter to the KPK on February 26, suddenly BKN sent a letter to BIN without prior approval by the KPk, this seems to have exceeded the authority of BKN," said Sujanarko.

In fact, Sujanarko considered BKN too naive because it said it had followed the President's direction regarding TWK. At that time, BKN said it had coordinated with several other institutions.

Sujanarko also highlighted the statement by the Deputy Head of BKN Supranawa regarding the results of the TWK which was referred to as a secret document and was in accordance with the decision of the TNI Commander. According to him, it was against other regulations.

"BKN is not careful, unprofessional because it contradicts the Perkap BKN article 7 paragraph 6 which adheres to the principle of transparency. It should choose an assessment institution whose assessment process is in accordance with the value of this transparency, and in accordance with the realm of the civil bureaucracy," said Sujanarko.

"Equalizing the transition process for KPK employees, such as the procurement of CPNS, even the PERKA BKN 26/2019 regarding the implementation of socio-cultural assessments has nothing to do with SKD CPNS," he continued.

Then, Sujanarko also assessed that the findings of the Indonesian Ombudsman regarding the insertion of articles and even then had been proven. "The insertion of the article is very clear according to the findings of the Ombudsman," he said.
