JAKARTA - Gerindra Party politician Dedi Mulyadi admitted that he was not responsible for the 'Kang Dedi Mulyadi' Facebook account. According to him, the account is currently under the control of other people or was hacked.

"The account is now back under the control of other people. So I am not responsible for the content in the account. Haturnuhun (thank you)," said Dedi by telephone in Purwakarta, West Java, Friday, September 15, as reported by Antara.

Previously, in April and July 2023, a Facebook account with the name Kang Dedi Mulyadi, which had checked blue, was once controlled by an irresponsible party.

Now, he said, the irresponsible party is back in control of the Facebook account which already has 11 million followers.

"For now, I no longer hold Kang Dedi Mulyadi's Facebook account (blue tick)," he said.

Currently, Kang Dedi Mulyadi's official social media accounts are only on Instagram @dedimulyadi71 and Twitter/X @DediMulyadi71.

Previously, Dedi Mulyadi said that the video recorded and published was a number of his social media accounts, including on his YouTube channel as part of the image.

"Yes, that's true, it's an image because every public official must have an image and image that must be done consistently, not pretending or impromptu," said Dedi.

He admitted that there was a pros and cons related to his YouTube content. Not even a few who considered it an image. However, Dedi claims that everything he did and published on YouTube was not made a plan.

"So if someone says create content, I never make content. There is only a trip recorded by the camera and then posted", said Dedi.

The former Regent of Purwakarta said that this was done because it has now entered the digital century so that every activity and work can be seen directly by the community.

"We as public officials, if we don't publish what is being done, it will be considered as workless," he said.
