JAKARTA - The staff of the Minister of State Secretary (Mensesneg) Faldo Maldini said that the position of Minister of Communication and Information (Menkominfo) Johnny G Plate would be filled with acting (Plt).

This assurance was conveyed after the Secretary General of the NasDem Party was named a suspect in the alleged corruption at the Attorney General's Office (AGO).

"The position of Minister will be taken over by Plt," Faldo told reporters in a written statement, Wednesday, May 17.

Even so, Faldo did not want to talk about the figure of the executor of the task. He only said that the work of the Ministry of Communication and Information would not be disrupted.

"We'll just have to wait for the official announcement soon. Of course this will become something of priority," he said.

"There is no need to worry too much about the effectiveness of the government," continued Faldo.

Previously, Johnny was officially detained by the AGO for the first 20 days. He is a suspect in alleged corruption in the construction of the 4G BTS tower and supporting infrastructure for BAKTI Kominfo.

Johnny's detention began with a number of examinations. One of them is related to the flow of money to his younger brother with the initials GAP in the case.
