Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –
Principal Investigator of the Commission for the Eradication of Corruption (NCP) Baswedan novel revealed that he wanted to quit the anti-bribery agency. The reason is that the conditions to eradicate corruption were weakened after the revision of the KPK Law.
This was revealed by Novel when speaking with Karni Ilyas on the YouTube account ‘Karni Ilyas Club’ that was uploaded on Sunday night (11/29).
“Honestly, some time ago I wanted to quit,” Novel said, responding to Karni as quoted. CNNIndonesia.com, Monday (11/30).
However, Novel later reconsidered his wish. He said he would resign from the KPK when he felt he could no longer do anything for the anti-corruption agency.
“Then when I swayed again, I thought I’d wait until I couldn’t doing nothing, I can’t do anything, I’m going to quit, “said Novel.
Novel admitted that he began to feel the weakening of efforts to root out corruption after the KPK Act was passed. One of the weaknesses that he highlighted is the value of independence.
According to him, independence is an important point to be able to work honestly and professionally and avoid interference from third parties.
Meanwhile, in the new KPK Law, anti-bribery employees are part of the State Civil Service (ASN). He is concerned that this change will interfere with law enforcement officials at the KPK when investigating the cases.
He considered that the independence of KPK employees would be considerably reduced if they became an ASN. In fact, Novel admitted that he often heard complaints from several of his colleagues that they were ASN when they were working properly, they were transferred to another department.
“Of course we can see, so far the law enforcement officials when handling big cases the problem is intervention. (For example) when they work in the middle of the road and then they are transferred, maybe those who work get sanctions. and they can’t do anything to properly enforce the process, “he said.
Novel does not deny that this problem worries him when he currently works at the KPK. He hopes the government will better understand that efforts to root out corruption are in the best interests of the nation and the state.
“Eradicating corruption is the responsibility of the president. Regarding the president, dividing the power to whoever carries it out, he has the authority,” he said.
During the January-November 2020 period, the KPK noted that 38 employees had resigned from the institution. Two big names who have resigned are former KPK spokesperson Febri Diansyah and former KPK employee adviser Nanang Farid Syam.
The reason most employees quit is because they want to pursue careers elsewhere.
