JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) inaugurated two of its employees as State Civil Apparatus (ASN). Both of them had just been inaugurated because they took the follow-up National Insight Test (TWK) after completing their study abroad assignment.

The inauguration and oath-taking were carried out by the Secretary General of the KPK, Cahya H. Harefa, as the Personnel Guidance Officer, with witnesses as the Director of Investigation Endar Priantoro and the Acting Head of the HR Bureau, Yonathan Deme Tangdilintin. The inauguration ceremony was held at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta.

In his remarks, Cahya hoped for the two employees to carry out their duties in the anti-corruption commission productively.

"Every ASN is required to have work productivity that continues to increase, always be prepared to face competition by continuing to develop competencies, and be able to keep up with changes and developments of the times," he said as quoted from a written statement, Friday, October 8.

"All of our work must be done well and in the end can provide benefits and contribute to the eradication of corruption," added Cahya.

The two employees who were inaugurated were employees who served in the Directorate of Gratification and the Directorate of Investigation. They took a follow-up test on September 20-22.

Actually, there were three KPK employees who had the opportunity to take part in the follow-up TWK as a condition for the transfer of employment status. However, one of them, Lakso Anindito, was declared unsuccessful and dismissed on September 30, along with Novel Baswedan, Yudi Purnomo, and dozens of other employees who also suffered the same fate.

Lakso had mentioned about his sudden dismissal. Not only that, he also considers TWK and its follow-up process to be unaccountable and transparent.

In fact, Lakso admitted that he received different treatment from his two colleagues. He admitted that when interviewed by assessors he received questions about the revision of the KPK Law and the TWK polemic that had already occurred.

However, he did not expect that the answer he gave to the assessor would actually lead to his dismissal as a KPK employee because he did not pass the TWK.
