JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has again held a hand arrest operation (OTT). Pemalang Regent, Central Java Mukti Agung was arrested along with dozens of other people.

"KPK has detained 23 people," said the source in a written statement, Thursday, August 11.

Currently, the examination of dozens of people is being carried out. "Checked on the 2nd floor of the Merah Putih building."

Previously, the Governor of Central Java Ganjar Pranowo emphasized that the Corruption Eradication Commission's (OTT) operation to arrest Pemalang Regent Mukti Agung Wibowo was a warning to regional heads to stop all forms of corruption.

"I've actually reminded my friends (regional heads in Central Java Province) many times and of course I'll wait for the developments," said Ganjar in Semarang, as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, August 11.

According to Ganjar, communication in an effort to warn regional heads in Central Java Province not to be involved in corruption has been carried out intensely, especially since the Central Java Provincial Government has long cooperated with the KPK in preventing corruption.

"I always remind him because in fact our cooperation with law enforcement, with the KPK has been too frequent," he said.

Ganjar revealed that the KPK in each of its activities in Central Java does not only carry out socialization and education in eradicating corruption, but also includes warnings or codes that regional heads must pay attention to.

The emphasis, Ganjar continued, is self-control in each individual head of the region.

"Be careful, yes, in Central Java, there are things like buying and selling positions, there are people in Central Java who are playing projects, there are people who are like this which are considered evil. Now, at that time we have to exercise self-control," he said.
