He did not mention the details of the identities of the two convicts of the corruption case, but only mentioned the origin of regional apparatus organizations when they were caught in legal problems, namely officials from the Ponorogo Regency Public Works and Settlement Areas Service (DPUPKP). One of the considerations propose that both of them receive a special religious remission is a period of punishment that has been served, as well as good behavior.
