JAKARTA, KOMPAS – President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo has finally spoken up about the controversy relating to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) as a result of the change in status of KPK employees to members of the state civil apparatus (ASN). The President said the results of the civic knowledge test must not be used as the basis for dismissing the 75 KPK employees who did not pass the test. The test results were sufficient as input for the improvement of the institution and the individuals.
"If there are shortcomings, I think there is still an opportunity to make improvements through particular education on civic knowledge," said President Jokowi in a statement on the status of the KPK employees made at Merdeka Palace in Jakarta on Monday (17/5/2021) and broadcast on the Presidential Secretariat YouTube account.
