JAKARTA - After being effectively dismissed on September 30, 57 employees of the Corruption Eradication Commission are still preparing for further resistance. This was conveyed by the former Head of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Anti-Corruption Learning Task Force, Hotman Tambunan.

One of the resistance they have prepared is to seek to resolve disputes over information on the results of the National Insight Test Assessment (TWK) which led them to be eliminated from the KPK at the Central Information Commission (KIP).

"The ongoing KIP lawsuit is what we are currently working on for the past two days," Hotman told reporters quoted on Tuesday, October 5.

Not only that, Hotman said that his party was preparing an administrative process to sue the decision letter (SK) for the dismissal of dozens of employees. This is done as they complete the administrative process at the KPK to take care of BPJS and old-age benefits.

He said this lawsuit would later be submitted to the State Administrative Court (PTUN). "There are still administrative requirements but (this, ed) is only an option, for example, we decide to sue the administration is complete," he said.

Although they are preparing a number of resistances, Hotman said he and his colleagues hope that President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has good intentions. This can be done by implementing the recommendations of the Indonesian Ombudsman and the National Human Rights Commission which states that maladministration and violations have occurred during its implementation.

"We think about these 57 employees, the recommendations of the Ombudsman and National Human Rights Commission (Komnas HAM) were completed by the President. Why hope that? Because Komnas HAM said that there were human rights violations that were the most serious," he said.

"Actually, we know that it is inappropriate if there is a violation of human rights recommended (later, red) by the President not to act. Because we realize that this country was formed to protect the human rights of all citizens," added Hotman.

Previously, it was reported that 58 employees were declared unable to work at the KPK because they failed to become State Civil Apparatus (ASN) according to the mandate of the KPK Law Number 19 of 2019 as of the end of last September. The employees include senior KPK investigators Novel Baswedan and Ambarita Damanik, Chairman of the KPK Employee Forum Yudi Purnomo, KPK investigator Harun Al-Rasyid, and dozens of other names.

In addition, there is also a young investigator, Lakso Anindito, who failed after taking a follow-up test because he had just finished his assignment. The KPK argued that they could not become ASN, not because of laws and regulations such as Perkom KPK Number 1 of 2021, but because of the results of their assessment.

Ahead of the dismissal, the National Police Chief admitted that he wanted to recruit dozens of these employees to become National Police ASN. This wish was conveyed in a letter to President Jokowi last week and was approved.

There is also the reason Sigit wants to recruit tens of these employees because the Police need human resources to strengthen the line of cracking down on corruption cases. Moreover, the National Police is currently also focusing on handling the COVID-19 recovery.
