JAKARTA - The Governor of North Sumatra, Edy Rahmayadi, emphasized the issue of Langkat Regent, Terbit Rencana Perangin Angin, who must be responsible for the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) sting operation (OTT). Apart from the Regent of Langkat, there is an office head that was secured by the KPK.

"I have received the information but I don't know what the problem is, for that all must be able to do not punish if it is not certain. Let's wait for the confirmation that I will definitely defend my children if my children are right. For that, please take responsibility for everything that is your responsibility. I will monitor it later, after I know for sure, I will inform you", said Governor Edy in Medan on Wednesday, January 19.

Currently, the Regent of Langkat is still being investigated at the Binjai Police. After that, the Regent of Langkat will be flown to Jakarta.

"For that, let's be held accountable first. I will give my support and I will pray because I have said this many times, after I know it, I will tell you", said Edy.
