West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi

JAKARTA - West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi will summon the Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Depok, Supian Suri-Chandra Rahmansyah on Tuesday, April 8. They will be reprimanded for allowing the Depok City Government (ASN) to go home using official cars

"We will invite the regents, mayors, including the deputy mayor of Depok. Later there will be things that will be our pressure point so that similar incidents do not happen again," said Dedi to reporters after halal bihalal at the house of MPR Chairman Ahmad Muzani, Widya Chandra Complex, Jakarta, Wednesday, April 2.

Dedi said that these regional heads may need to adjust first. So, he will only give a warning instead of a sanction.

"Yes, a warning first. The new mayor is still training," he said.

Reporting from a number of media, Depok Mayor Supian Suri allowed Depok City Government employees to go home using official cars. So, the vehicle does not need to be left at a house where the occupants are going home.

"This means that if something unexpected happens, it is lost, yes, it is their responsibility so that it must return the state's losses if that happens," said Supian, Friday, March 28.

In addition, the policy is an appreciation for ASN. Thus, Supian hopes that they will be helped to go home because not all Depok City Government employees have private vehicles.

"It is also hoped that it will make it easier for them to return to Depok so that transportation problems are not hampered," he said.

This statement was highlighted by the KPK later. KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo said regional heads should be firm to prevent abuse of authority or corrupt practices, not the other way around.

"Regional heads should be able to be role models for their staff in preventing corruption, especially at the current moment," Budi told reporters in a written statement, Saturday, March 29.

"This permit is not in accordance with the Circular Letter of the Chairman of the KPK Number 7 of 2025 concerning Prevention of Corruption and Control of Certificates Related to Holidays," said Budi.

"Official vehicles should be used for official activities, not for personal interests," he said.

Budi reminded regional heads and supervisory units and inspectorates to actively monitor the whereabouts of official cars. Thus, the misuse of official cars for homecoming is not carried out by ASN.

In fact, they should impose administrative sanctions on those who commit violations. "Official vehicles as a form of state/regional assets should be managed in an orderly manner so as not to cause potential state or regional losses," he concluded.
