JAKARTA - Minister of Public Works (PU) Dody Hanggodo took firm steps by deactivating three officials of the North Sumatra National Road Implementation Center (BBPJN) after the Hand Catch Operation (OTT) conducted by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).
"To maintain the integrity and performance of the institution, we have disabled the PPK of the North Sumatra PJN Region I Satker, the Head of the North Sumatra Region I PJN Satker, and the Head of North Sumatra BBPJN from his position," said Dody in Jakarta, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, July 1.
PU Minister Dody Hanggodo took firm steps following the OTT carried out by the KPK in the North Sumatra National Road Implementation Center (BBPJN). Three North Sumatra BBPJN officials were officially disabled to ensure that the handling of cases runs without obstacles while maintaining the sustainability of public service tasks.
One of the officials who were deactivated was the HEL, Commitment Making Officer (PPK) at the North Sumatra PJN Region I Satker, which has now been named a suspect by the KPK.
In accordance with the staffing provisions, HEL was also temporarily dismissed as a State Civil Apparatus (ASN) for allegedly committing a criminal act of corruption and being detained by investigators.
Meanwhile, two other officials, namely the Head of the North Sumatra Region I PJN Satker and the Head of North Sumatra BBPJN, were disabled because they were deemed not to have carried out their duties and supervisory functions optimally. This step was taken to ensure improvements in governance and continuity of the implementation of strategic programs in the region.
As a follow-up, Dody said that he had appointed the implementer of the task (Plt) to fill the vacancy, in order to ensure optimization and smooth implementation of public development and service programs.
"We must provide space for the legal process to run independently and without intervention. However, at the same time, public services and infrastructure development must not stop. Therefore, we immediately carry out internal arrangement and rotation," he said.

Dody again conveyed a firm message from President Prabowo Subianto regarding the issue of corruption. "Immediately fix you, immediately clean yourself up, because anyone who is not clean will be eliminated indiscriminately. All fraud must be stopped or the person concerned will be dishonorably dismissed".
He also reminded a message from the Indonesian economy which is also President Prabowo's father, Prof. Sumitro Djojohadikusumo, that Indonesia's development is still hampered by the high cost economic burden. This burden causes the high incidence of the Capital Output Ratio (ICOR), so fundamental reforms are needed in governance.
The KPK named five suspects, one of whom is the HEL who is an ASN of the Ministry of Public Works, at the OTT in North Sumatra on Thursday (26/6) night related to the alleged bribery in the national road preservation and rehabilitation project. The Ministry of Public Works affirms its commitment to continue to cooperate with law enforcement officials and strengthen the internal control system in order to realize clean and professional governance.
