JAKARTA - Former Head of the Drafting of Regulations and Legal Products at the KPK Legal Bureau, Rasamala Aritonang, admitted that he had not heard of any of his colleagues who had accepted the proposal of the National Police to become a State Civil Apparatus (ASN) after being expelled from the anti-corruption commission.
According to him, so far the 57 employees who have been asked to join the Bhayangkara Corps have only talked about it but have not taken a stand.
"If there is a meeting, but I have not heard about the employee's acceptance of it," Rasamala told reporters quoted on Tuesday, October 12.
Moreover, the recruitment process is still in the legal drafting stage. So that the answer to the wishes of the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo will only be delivered after everything is clear.
"Because what I understand is that this is still in the process and first drafting the legal concept, then we can decide," said Rasamala.
Similarly, the former Head of the Anti-Corruption Learning Task Force for the KPK Hotman Tambunan also stated that discussions regarding their recruitment were still being carried out by the Police. So, no decision has been made, including when the next meeting will be held.
However, he said the follow-up meeting would certainly discuss more substantial matters related to the recruitment process compared to the first meeting.
"There has been no notification, yes. The discussion is still in the area of the Police, MenpanRB, BKN and a team of experts," said Hotman.
Previously, the Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police Public Relations Division, Kombes Ahmad Ramadhan, said that most of the 57 former KPK employees had accepted the offer to become ASN in the Bhayangkara Corps. He said this was known after communication with representatives of dozens of former employees.
"There has been a meeting from them, and some of them will also accept what is offered by the Police," Ahmad told reporters, Monday, October 11.
However, Ramadhan said there were no plans to hold a second meeting with the former KPK employees. Their recruitment is still in process so there are no significant developments.
Moreover, currently, the National Police are still coordinating with the Ministry of Administrative Reform and Bureaucratic Reform (KemenPAN-RB) and the National Civil Service Agency (BKN). "There are no problems, the process runs smoothly, it's just a matter of time. It's only a matter of time," said Ramadhan.
Bhayangkara Corps continues to show its seriousness in recruiting 57 former KPK employees including Novel Baswedan as ASN. 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 was 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.
