JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) revealed that all prospective officials in the Probolinggo Regency Government must obtain more permission from Hasan Aminuddin, who is the husband of Probolinggo Regent Puput Tantriana Sari.
Hasan was the former regent of Probolinggo for two terms before finally walking to Senayan to become a member of the Indonesian House of Representatives from the NasDem Party faction.
"All decisions that will be taken by the regent must be with the approval of the regent's husband. Including the appointment of officials must go through her husband and her husband puts his initials first," said KPK Chair Firli Bahuri in a written statement to reporters, Tuesday, September 7.
He said the action certainly could not be justified even though Hasan was a former regent of Probolinggo for two terms. In addition, what Puput's husband did was worsening the quality of work of officials in Probolinggo.
So, it is certain that later the community will experience the impact of the actions of the husband and wife who received the bribe.
"If this continues, it will be difficult for people to receive services that are easy, cheap and of the best quality," said Firli. Previously, the KPK had named 22 suspects consisting of 4 bribe recipients and 18 givers in the case of buying and selling village head positions. Currently, all suspects have been detained in different detention centers.
Bribes were given so that they could serve as village heads in the Probolinggo Regency Government. Each person is required to pay Rp. 20 million and the village land tribute of Rp. 5 million per hectare.
The four recipients were Probolinggo Regent Puput Tantriana Sari, DPR member Hasan Aminuddin, Krejengan sub-district head Doddy Kurniawan, and Paiton sub-district head Muhamad Ridwan.
While the 18 donors namely Sumanto, Ali Wafa, Mawardi, Mashudi, Maliha, Mohammad Bambang, Masruhen, Abdul Wafi, Kho'im, Akhmad Saifullah, Jaelani, Uhar, Nurul Hadi, Nuruh Huda, Hasan, Sahir, Sugito, and Syamsuddin as suspects giver. They are all state civil apparatus (ASN) in Probolinggo.
As a result of his actions, the giver is suspected of violating Article 5 paragraph (1) letter a or Article 5 paragraph (1) letter b or Article 13 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendment to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) to 1 of the Criminal Code.
