JAKARTA - The Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) has coordinated with the Provincial Government of North Sumatra (North Sumatra) regarding reports of alleged violations of the North Tapanuli (Taput) Regent's neutrality of North Tapanuli (Taput) Dimposma Sihombing.

"There are complaints in North Tapanuli. We also coordinated with the Acting Governor of North Sumatra Agus Fatoni," said Deputy Minister of Home Affairs (Wamendagri) Bima Arya Sugiarto in a working meeting with Commission II of the DPR RI at the parliament complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday, November 20, which was confiscated by Antara.

In addition, Bima said that on Thursday, November 21, a meeting would be held in North Sumatra to determine related steps and solutions to reports of alleged violations.

Previously, member of Commission II of the Indonesian House of Representatives Giri Ramanda Nazaputra Kiemas in a working meeting with the Ministry of Home Affairs submitted a report on the alleged violation of the neutrality of the Acting Regent of Taput Dimposma Sihombing on Monday 18 November.

"There is a special message for North Sumatra, North Tapanuli Regency. Mr. Acting central person, from the Ministry of Villages. Please don't make noise. I got a pile of reports about you," said Giri.

Giri explained that the report was in the form of a motion letter not to believe in the Dimposma, and an answer letter from the Ombudsman.

Therefore, Giri reminded that Dimposma must maintain neutrality during the 2024 Pilkada stage.

"Netrality is important. Don't look as if you support one of the candidate pairs because the business will be long. I just ask for it," he said.

"Please, this will be an evaluation material for your personal father as the Acting Officer. Don't make a lot of reports. Later, the Deputy Minister will be dizzy," continued Giri.
