Medan Mayor Bobby Nasution received an award from the Corruption Eradication Commission of the Republic of Indonesia (KPK RI) because his area is considered as the city government with the highest value of controlling infrastructure, facilities, and utilities (PSU) at the North Sumatra level in 2022.

The award certificate number KSP.00/1322/2023 was handed over by the Director of Coordination and Supervision of Region I of the KPK Edi Suryanto to Bobby Nasution at the coordination meeting for the rescue of State/Regional Finances, Thursday, October 26.

In the series of coordination meetings, the Medan City Government also received 605 certificates of regional property (BMD). The certificate was handed over by the Secretary General of the Ministry of ATR/BPN represented by the Director of Land Determination of Government Agencies, Sri Pranoto.
