JAKARTA - The former employee of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) who was dismissed on September 30 said he was ready if invited by the Police to discuss the offer to become a State Civil Apparatus (ASN).

This readiness was conveyed by the former Head of the KPK Internal Learning Task Force, Hotman Tambunan.

"We will come to fulfill the invitation of the Police," said Hotman when contacted by reporters, Monday, October 4.

He said his party was open to further discussing the intention of the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo to appoint them as ASN.

Moreover, the plan is one of the solutions to solve the problems caused by the National Insight Test Assessment (TWK) and has been approved by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi).

"If it's clear, we know the mechanisms and procedures, then we can take a stand," said Hotman.

Previously reported, the National Police expressed their seriousness in recruiting 57 former KPK employees including Novel Baswedan as State Civil Apparatus (ASN) in the Bhayangkara Corps. This seriousness is shown by having prepared various plans to make it happen, including holding a meeting.

The Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police, Inspector General Argo Yuwono, said that he would invite Novel Baswedan and colleagues to discuss the plan. However, he hasn't specified the exact time yet.

The reason is that the National Police through the HR Assistant are still coordinating with the Ministry of Administrative Reform (MenPANRB) and the State Civil Service Agency (BKN). After these efforts were completed, then the Police planned to invite the 57 former KPK employees.

"Just wait and be informed later, it will take time," said Argo, Sunday, October 3.

In addition, the National Police are also still discussing the mechanism related to the recruitment of 57 former KPK employees who did not pass the National Insight Test (TWK). Especially about the placement for them.

For information, on September 30 yesterday as many as 57 KPK employees who did not pass the TWK were respectfully dismissed by the KPK.

The dismissed KPK employees came from various levels of office ranging from deputy, director to functional employees and investigators such as Novel Baswedan, Yudi Purnomo, Rizka Anungata, Harun Al Rasyid, Budi Agung Nugroho and other names.
