Today, The Ombudsman Announces The Results Of Examination Of The Report On Alleged Maladministration Novel Baswedan And Colleagues

JAKARTA - The Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia has completed an examination of the alleged maladministration that occurred during the National Insight Test Assessment (TWK) for employees of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

This institution said it would announce the results they obtained to the public on Wednesday, July 21 today.

"The Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia has completed the examination of the hearings of representatives of 75 disabled KPK employees," was quoted from the Twitter account @OmbudsmanRI137 on Wednesday, July 21.

Later, the findings of the alleged maladministration will be conveyed by a member of the Indonesian Ombudsman Robert Na Endi Jaweng. This activity was held at around 11.00 western Indonesia time.

Previously reported, as many as 75 KPK employees were declared not to have passed the TWK which was a condition for changing employee status to State Civil Apparatus and disabled.

Those who did not pass included senior investigator Novel Baswedan, Chairman of the KPK Employee Forum Yudi Purnomo, to the Head of the Anti-Corruption Learning Task Force (Satgas) Hotman Tambunan of the KPK, and a number of investigators who are working on the Rasuah case.

After the test was run, dozens of these employees considered that a violation had occurred. Thus, they complained about the process and its implementation to a number of institutions such as the Indonesian Ombudsman and the National Human Rights Commission.

Regarding the reporting of this alleged maladministration, the Ombudsman has asked for clarification from the KPK leadership on Thursday, June 10. At that time, the Deputy Chairperson of the KPK, Nurul Ghufron, came to the Ombudsman Building and provided the necessary information.

After the request for clarification was made, the Ombudsman said the investigation into the alleged maladministration was focused on three points.

"The first is a matter of legal basis. Especially if the maladministration is about the process of drafting KPK regulations Number 1 of 2021. We are talking about the legal basis," said RI Ombudsman member Robert Na Endi Jaweng in a press conference that was broadcast online, Thursday, June 10.

Second, the Ombudsman continues to explore the implementation of existing regulations regarding the transfer of employment status. Including, whether the socialization of the implementation of the transition has been carried out by related parties such as the leadership of the KPK.

"Then the implementation. So far, it is related to the involvement of other institutions in the transition process, including BKN and other parties," said Robert.

The last point is the consequence of the transition process. Moreover, currently, there are employees who have passed and were appointed but some have been disabled because they did not pass the TWK.

In investigating these three points, the Ombudsman has clarified a number of parties. In addition to the leadership of the KPK, this has been done to the KemenPANRB which is the regulator of personnel management.

At that time, Robert ensured that the Ombudsman worked independently and maintained integrity in investigating the allegations reported by the 75 disabled KPK employees. The recommendations that will be issued will of course be in accordance with the data and facts.

"If there is maladministration, we will report it. If there is no maladministration, we will also report it," he said.
