JAKARTA - Former Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) employee Farid Andhika said that there had been no substantive discussion with the National Police in the meeting held on Monday, October 4 yesterday at the National Police Headquarters.
This meeting is a follow-up to the intention of the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo to withdraw Novel Baswedan et al who were expelled from the KPK to become the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) in the Bhayangkara Corps.
"Yesterday's meeting was just the initial meeting as a follow-up to the statement from the Chief of Police and there has been no substantive discussion," Farid told reporters, Tuesday, October 5.
He said the substantive discussion had not yet been carried out because the detailed plan regarding their appointment to become ASN in the National Police was still not ripe.
"There is no discussion material because we don't know what the detailed plan of the National Police Chief will look like and we think we need to know also whether this is a follow-up to the recommendations of the Indonesian Ombudsman, Komnas HAM, and the Supreme Court's decision that submits TWK follow-up to the government's authority," explained Farid. .
For this reason, a meeting will be scheduled later between representatives of former KPK employees and the Police. "Yes, there will be a follow-up meeting and waiting for an official invitation from the Police," he said.
Previously reported, the National Police met with representatives of 57 former employees who were expelled from the KPK. This meeting was based on the intention of the Bhayangkara Corps to recruit Novel Baswedan et al to strengthen the eradication of corruption.
The intention that came directly from the mouth of the National Police Chief was approved by President Joko Widodo through the Minister of State Secretary.
For information, 58 employees were declared no longer able to work at the KPK because they failed to become 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.
