The arrest of South Sulawesi Governor Nurdin Abdullah on Saturday (27/2/2021) came as a shock. The governor, known for his claimed anticorruption stance, was arrested by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).
Anticorruption activists were sad, shocked and disappointed. Nurdin was arrested during an operation at his official residence in Makassar, South Sulawesi, for allegedly accepting bribes from infrastructure project contractors in the province. The head of the KPK named Nurdin a suspect and detained him, with billions of rupiah in cash seized as evidence.
