President Jokowi (BPMI Setpres)

JAKARTA - Inactive employee of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Yudi Purnomo is optimistic that President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) will respond positively to a letter of recommendation from the National Human Rights Commission sent last week.

The recommendation letter is related to the findings of several violations in the test which are a condition for the transfer of the status of a KPK employee to a State Civil Apparatus (ASN).

"I am optimistic that the President will give a positive response to save the eradication of corruption", said Yudi when contacted by VOI, Wednesday, September 1.

Moreover, some time ago, he continued, President Jokowi stated that 75 employees who did not pass the TWK should not be dismissed.

"And referring to the consideration of the Constitutional Court that the transfer of status should not harm KPK employees who have been instrumental in eradicating corruption", said the Chairman of the KPK Employee Forum.

Meanwhile, regarding the submission of the letter, VOI has tried to contact the Special Staff of the Minister of State Secretary, Faldo Maldini. However, he could not provide any information.

National Human Rights Commissioner, Beka Ulung Hapsara, said his party had submitted a recommendation regarding the implementation of the KPK TWK in which there were human rights violations.

The letter was sent directly to President Jokowi with a copy to the Minister of State Secretary.

In a letter containing recommendations regarding the implementation of the TWK for KPK employees, the National Human Rights Commission has submitted its executive summary. "Also (we, ed) asked the president for time so that he could fully explain the findings and recommendations", said Beka when contacted by VOI, Wednesday, September 1.

As previously reported, National Human Rights Commission stated that there were 11 rights violations experienced by KPK employees in the implementation of TWK, namely the right to justice and legal certainty; women's rights; the right not to discriminate; the right to freedom of religion and belief; right to work; and the right to security.

The next right that is violated is the right to information; the right to privacy; the right to freedom of assembly and association; the right to participate in government; and the right to freedom of expression.

As a result of this violation, National Human Rights Commission issued five recommendations which were submitted to President Joko Widodo as the highest authority holder and the highest civil service officer.

The contents of the recommendations include appointing employees who do not pass the TWK as ASN and restoring the good name of employees who are stigmatized as a result of this incident.
