KPK Addresses Possible Reinstatement of 57 Former Staff Following Central Information Commission Ruling

Jakarta (ANTARA) – The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has responded to the possibility of reinstating 57 former employees who failed the national insight test, following a ruling by the Central Information Commission which ordered the State Civil Service Agency to disclose the results of the test. “Yes, I will inform the Secretary-General and the Legal Bureau to conduct a review first,” said the Chairman of the KPK, Setyo Budiyanto, at the Ministry of Empowerment of State Apparatus and Bureaucratic Reform building, Jakarta, on Tuesday. Setyo explained that this is the KPK’s initial response to the ruling by the Central Information Commission (KI), which the IM57+ Institute considers to be the beginning of the reinstatement of the 57 victims of the KPK’s 2021 national insight test (TWK). Previously, on Monday, 23 February 2026, the Central Information Commission, during a hearing, partially granted a request regarding a dispute over information concerning the results of the KPK’s TWK. The request was submitted by two former KPK employees who were considered victims of the TWK conducted as part of the transfer of status to civil servants (ASN) in 2021, namely Ita Khoiriyah and Hotman Tambunan. They represent the 57 former KPK employees who were declared to have failed the TWK. Meanwhile, Hotman Tambunan stated that the ruling by the Central Information Commission is not only a victory for the 57 victims of the KPK’s TWK. “This is not only a victory for the victims of the TWK, but also a victory against all forms of intimidation and manipulation against the fight against corruption and democracy,” he said. The Chairman of the IM57+ Institute, Laksa Anindito, stated that the ruling by the Central Information Commission confirms that there is no reason for President Prabowo Subianto not to reinstate the 57 victims of the KPK’s TWK.
