JAKARTA - House of Representatives (DPR) Chairwoman Puan Maharani responded to the many regional heads who were caught in the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) hand-catching operation (OTT). Puan ensured that the DPR together with the government would evaluate all lines, especially regarding the political costs of regional heads.
"We must jointly evaluate between the DPR and the government regarding this matter. Is it possible that political costs are too expensive or how to provide accountability education to all regional heads," said Puan at the DPR building, Senayan, Tuesday, March 10.
Puan also ensured that the DPR would oversee the accountability of regional heads. According to him, accountability is important so that there is an awareness of regional heads to maintain matters concerning their areas.
"Also how to give awareness to all regional heads that yes accountability is important not only for accountability supervision but how to be aware of each other," said Puan.
"So it must be evaluated to all lines related to this matter," he added.
It is known that a number of regional heads were caught by the KPK OTT throughout January-March 2026. Among them, the Regent of Pati, the Mayor of Madiun, the Regent of Pekalongan, and most recently the Regent of Rejang Lebong.
