TULUNGAGUNG - Tulungagung DPRD, East Java appointed a legislator from the National Awakening Faction (F-PKB) as the deputy chairman of the Tulungagung DPRD to replace Adib Makarim who was detained by the KPK for allegedly being involved in corruption in the 2014-2019 regional budget. .
"Currently, Ali Masrup has been appointed to the position of deputy chairman, replacing brother Adib Makarim. But his status is still acting, not yet definitive," said Deputy Chairman of the Tulungagung Regency DPRD from the Gerindra Party, Ahmad Baharudin, quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, August 16.
Even though he is still the executor of the task, continued Baharudin, as a rule, Ali Masrup has been able to represent and sign a policy.
Adib Makarim himself is legally still a member of the Tulungagung DPRD.
The chairman of the Tulungagung PKB DPC is still part of the DPRD and has not been deactivated, because the legal process that ensnares him is still ongoing, not yet legally binding (inkrah).
"Later, if he has signed up, he will be deactivated, or if there is a letter of dismissal. As long as he is a member of the party, he can still become a member of the DPRD," he explained.
Meanwhile, Adib Makarim's position in the DPC PKB Tulungagung Regency is currently being replaced by Achmad Syafi'i.
This was reinforced by a statement from the secretary of the Tulungagung Regency PKB DPC, Nurrudin, who stated that Achmad Syafi'i was temporarily appointed to replace Adib, who was considered temporarily absent because he was involved in a corruption case at the KPK. "Yes, still Plt," replied Nurudin.
Apart from Adib Makarim, the KPK has also named two other suspects, namely Imam Khambali and Agus Budiarto. The last two names are former Deputy Chairmen of the 2014-2019 DPRD.
Imam Khambali is still serving as a member of the DPRD, while Imam Budiarto is no longer the deputy chairman of the DPRD. They are suspected of violating Article 12 letter a or letter b or Article 11 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) of the 1st Criminal Code.
