JAKARTA - The National Police stated that they are still discussing the mechanism related to the recruitment of 56 employees of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) who did not pass the National Insight Test (TWK). Especially about the placement for them.

"Regarding this, it will be discussed first. In this case, it is delegated to the Karo for Personnel Control (Dalpers), it will be discussed first how to recruit him," said Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police Public Relations Division Commissioner Ahmad Ramadhan to reporters, Wednesday, September 29.

In placing the position, the Police stated that they must be careful and thorough. This is because each of the 56 Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) employees has a different background.

That is the difference in terms of education to career levels. So, if later officially become State Civil Apparatus (ASN) of National Police (Polri), they will get a position according to their abilities.

"Research means don't put it wrong. It means that it can't be a high position, this is usually the same position. We don't know what it's like," said Ramadhan.

"It's like they have their respective positions. When he was in this position, what was it like, what was it like, did there have to be adjustments to the position at the KPK, it had to be discussed properly," he continued.

What is clear, said Ramadhan, is that the National Police are currently preparing all the things needed in the recruitment process. So, everything will be optimal and be good.

"What is clear is that if the National Police Chief has said that, then we have to follow up. Moreover, he said that we, the Police, have conveyed to the President and the President has responded and has agreed," said Ramadhan.

Previously it was reported that the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo would recruit 56 employees of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) who were fired because they did not pass the national insight test (TWK). They will be used as State Civil Apparatus (ASN) in Bhayangkara Corps.

In the recruitment effort, the National Police Chief has written to President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). The letter relates to a request for permission regarding the recruitment of KPK employees who will be fired on September 30.

"We have sent a letter to the President asking for 56 people who did the TWK test who did not pass the test and were not appointed as KPK ASNs so that we could withdraw them and then recruit them to become Polri ASNs," said Sigit, Tuesday, September 28.
