BEKASI - Work activities at the Bekasi City Government (Pemkot) office complex, West Java were observed to be normal after the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) arrest operation against the Mayor of Bekasi, Rahmat Effendi.

"I don't think it will have any impact, because we are required to provide excellent service to the community, so our work activities will continue as usual," said an employee at the Bekasi Mayor's Building, Antara, Thursday, January 6.

Based on observations, a number of State Civil Apparatus (ASN) and contract workers who are active in the office appear to be working as usual.

The entire regional apparatus room seemed to be filled with employees who were working, even the parking lot in the office area looked as busy as usual.

The arrest of the Mayor of Bekasi is occasionally heard as the main topic of discussion among local ASN.

The Bekasi City Government has yet to be questioned about the OTT of the anti-corruption commission in its area, even though the KPK has confirmed the operation to arrest the Mayor of Bekasi.

The information will be provided by the Bekasi City Government, but after clarification of the details from the KPK, it will be submitted to the mass media.

"We all uphold the presumption of innocence. Please be patient, later it will definitely be conveyed through an official statement," said the employee who did not want to be named.

The KPK on Wednesday, January 5 was reported to have conducted an OTT in the jurisdiction of Bekasi City. The OTT involved the Mayor of Bekasi and dozens of other people with suspected corruption cases within the Bekasi City Government.
