DOK VOI

JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Alexander Marwata appreciated and gave awards to 57 employees who will be dismissed at the end of September, after being declared not to have passed the National Insight Test (TWK).

In addition, he said there were still many places to serve for employees who were expelled from the anti-corruption commission because they failed to meet the requirements to switch status as State Civil Apparatus (ASN) as mandated by the KPK Law Number 19 of 2019.

"There are many fields of good service outside the KPK in efforts to eradicate corruption," Alexander said in a press conference broadcast on the Indonesian KPK YouTube, Wednesday, September 15.

Alexander also believes that the tens of employees will not abandon the integrity value that has been developed in the internal anti-corruption commission. So, Alex hopes that the employees can develop these values in their new place later.

"We believe that KPK employees who have been dismissed will not abandon the values of integrity as long as the person concerned works at the KPK which will be given to their new field of service," he said.

Alex then explained that the 57 KPK employees were not appointed as State Civil Apparatus (ASN) as a mandate for the KPK Law Number 19 of 2019 not because of Perkom Number 1 of 2021 or other regulations.

According to him, the dozens of employees cannot become ASN and work at the KPK anymore because of the results of the TWK assessment.

He also said that all employees have been given equal opportunities even though they have passed the age limit or have stopped being ASN before.

The dismissal was carried out based on government regulation (PP) number 63 of 2005 concerning the Human Resources Management System of the KPK Articles 18 and 19 paragraph (3) letter d with the reason that the dismissal was due to organizational demands.

For information, as many as 75 KPK employees were initially declared unsuccessful or did not meet the requirements in the TWK assessment process as a condition for employee status transfer. Of this number, 24 of them can be trained, although recently only 18 have participated in the training for State Defense and National Insight.

So that the total number of employees who are considered unable to be trained and do not want to carry out training because their request for clarity on the results of the TWK has not been given is 57 people.

There are also those who are no longer able to work at the KPK because they do not pass the TWK and are considered no longer able to be fostered through state defense education and national insight, including senior KPK investigators Novel Baswedan and Ambarita Damanik, Chairman of the KPK Employee Forum Yudi Purnomo, KPK investigator Harun Al-Karmin. Rashid, as well as dozens of other names.
