JAKARTA - Member of Commission III of the DPR RI from the PPP faction, Arsul Sani, appreciates the attitude of the National Police Chief, General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, who intends to withdraw 56 KPK employees who did not pass the National Insight Test (TWK) to become Polri ASN.

According to Arsul, this is not only a form of appreciation for the Human Resources (HR) of the KPK for not meeting the requirements in the TWK. But also from the humanitarian side, namely maintaining the rights of citizens to get decent work.

Even so, the Secretary General of PPP reminded that the steps of the National Police Chief should not be hampered by the ministries/agencies (K/L) that deal with ASN or staffing.

Because, said Arsul, looking at the attitude of K/L related to KPK ASN, there is an impression that 56 KPK employees who did not pass the TWK test are not people whose national insight can be improved.

"If the National Police Chief then opens the door for admission, the question remains whether the related Ministries/Agencies will not become a stumbling block," said Arsul, Wednesday, September 29.

The chairman of the PPP faction in the DPR assessed that the steps taken by the National Police Chief, which had been approved by the President to recruit 56 KPK employees to become National Police ASNs, needed to be viewed with good prejudice or khusnudzon.

If you don't use the lens of good prejudice, said Arsul, then the viewpoints and analysis that come out can vary. Moreover, if it departs from prejudice with the paradigm of conspiracy theories.

"Of course in a democracy it is not forbidden to look at the steps taken by the National Police Chief from different perspectives," he said.

Previously, the Minister of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform (MenPAN-RB) Tjahjo Kumolo, emphasized that the KemenPAN-RB could not interfere in the internal affairs of the Police. According to him, the withdrawal of 56 KPK employees to the Bhayangkara Corps is under the authority of the National Police Chief.

"That is the authority of the National Police Chief. MenPAN-RB does not take care of that," said Tjahjo, Wednesday, September 29.

Tjahjo explained that the KemenPAN-RB will be involved when it comes to regulations, such as the preparation of a draft Presidential Decree. But regarding the appointment of positions in the National Police, he said, it is the right and authority of the National Police Chief.

"The Presidential Decree was discussed with the MenPAN-RB, the State Civil Service Agency (BKN), the Minister of Law and Human Rights," explained Tjahjo Kumolo.
