Central Information Commission orders BKN to disclose KPK national insight test results to applicants

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Central Information Commission (KI) has ordered the National Civil Service Agency (BKN) to disclose the results of the Corruption Eradication Commission’s (KPK) national insight test (TWK) to the applicants in an information dispute.

“Ordering the respondent (BKN) to provide the information requested by the applicants as referred to in paragraph 6.3, solely to the applicants,” said Commissioner Panel Chairperson Rospita Vici Paulyn during the reading of the information dispute ruling between Ita and Hotman against BKN, which was broadcast and monitored from Jakarta on Monday.

The applicants are two former KPK employees who were deemed victims of the TWK conducted as part of the transition to civil servant (ASN) status in 2021, namely Ita Khoiriyah and Hotman Tambunan. They represent the 57 former KPK employees who were declared to have failed the TWK.

Meanwhile, Vici, whilst reading the ruling in case 043/XI/KIP-PS/2021, stated that the provision of information by BKN refers to the mechanism regulated under Article 22 paragraph (7) point e of Law Number 14 of 2008 on Public Information Disclosure, in conjunction with Article 50 paragraphs (2) and (3) of the Information Commission Regulation on Public Information Service Standards.

Hotman stated that the ruling was not merely a victory for the 57 KPK TWK victims.

“This is not only a victory for the TWK victims, but a victory against all forms of intimidation and manipulation directed at anti-corruption efforts and democracy,” he said.

Meanwhile, IM57+ Institute Chairperson Laksa Anindito stated that the ruling affirmed there was no reason for President Prabowo Subianto not to reinstate the 57 KPK TWK victims.
