It is hoped that KPK employees who fail the National Insight Test (TWK) will not be dragged into practical politics and stop the noise. The reason is that the transfer of the status of KPK employees has complied with the rules and was carried out transparently.
The national insight test is a very important test before someone is appointed as an ASN, including KPK employees. They’ve been through it and the result 75 people did not qualify. Of these people, 24 people were given a second chance and the rest had to be willing to leave the KPK in early November 2021.
Why do some fail the test and fail to get a second chance? Deputy Chairman of the KPK Alexander Marwata stated that they failed because the report card was very red, aka the TWK score was very low. So it is natural that they cannot be appointed as state civil servants.
In addition, former KPK employees who did not pass the TWK were caught having a political agenda. One of them is suspected to have close involvement with radical groups, so it is dangerous to continue his career at the anti-corruption agency. Do not let the KPK be exposed to the virus of radicalism, because it can be dangerous for the country.
Imagine if there was no national insight test as a filter to find out if any KPK employees were involved in radicalism, what would they be? The KPK could be destroyed because it is being undermined from within, because of the actions of radical groups who use their positions and ranks for their own interests. Moreover, KPK employees have many partners so that there may be a lobby that endangers the state.
If a KPK employee is found to be involved in radicalism, he can issue a statement on social media and state his side. This is very dangerous because the public might suspect that the KPK has been involved in radicalism, even though it is only a personal statement, not an institution. However, because he was already attached to the KPK, it seemed as if it was an institutional statement.
If this is the case then the public may wonder, why is the KPK, which is a state institution, which is said to be neutral, even pro-radicalism? This will damage the good name of the KPK, so employees who are involved in radicalism must indeed be eradicated. The way to find out is with a national insight test, because there are several questions regarding radicalism, terrorism, and racial issues.
In addition, KPK employees who were not given a second chance were also caught having a negative political agenda. If you have to be neutral from the start but quietly mbalelo, it will be dangerous. For example, a senior investigator who openly refuses to investigate the case of a high-ranking official, who turns out to be his cousin. It is subjective, so it must be dealt with.
If he or other employees actually support relatives or friends to avoid stinging operations, then it cannot be tolerated. They cannot argue that the official who is their brother is clean because there is evidence that shows that he is secretly corrupt. It is possible that the OTT will be canceled because the official will be nominated as RI-1 in 2024.
Therefore, every KPK employee who is caught up in political currents, both left and right, must be cleaned with the national insight test method. They should evaluate, why not pass the exam. Instead of complaining to Komnas HAM like a child or shouting on social media.
The KPK is a state institution that must be kept sacred from radicalism and all negative political influences. The neutrality of the KPK must be strictly maintained, one of which is through a national insight test. Don’t let anyone be dragged into practical politics and kill the KPK from within.
