JAKARTA - The National Police said they would not rush into the recruitment process of 56 KPK employees who failed the National Insight Test (TWK). The National Police are making thorough preparations regarding the recruitment process for KPK employees who will be fired tomorrow.

"Yes, of course we will discuss so we are not in a hurry in the sense that we have to be careful so that we carry out this recruitment properly," said Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police Public Relations Division Kombes Ahmad Ramadhan to reporters, Wednesday, September 29.

Preparations are being made in coordination with several ministries. This is important because it relates to the status as a State Civil Apparatus (ASN).

"The National Police will definitely coordinate with the BKN ministry or KemenPAN," said Ramadhan.

Then, the Police will also discuss the position mechanism. The reason is that the 56 KPK employees have different abilities and backgrounds. For example, related to their education and career path.

If the KPK employee officially joins the National Police ASN, they can be placed according to their abilities and can give their best.

"It's like they have their own positions. When he was in this position, what kind, like, whether there had to be an adjustment to the position at the KPK, it had to be discussed properly," said Ramadhan.

Previously reported, National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo will recruit 56 KPK employees 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.

In response to this, President Jokowi through the Minister of State Secretary granted the request for recruitment.

The National Police Chief also stated the reasons behind the recruitment. One of them, the Police need human resources to strengthen the line of action against corruption cases. Moreover, the National Police is currently also focusing on handling the COVID-19 recovery.
