Message from Acting Leaders’ Appointment

The consequence of ignoring democratic principles and the rule of law can be very costly. So, common sense has only one choice: Avoid the costly consequence in the appointment of acting regional heads.

West Kalimantan Governor Sutarmidji inaugurated Samuel as Acting Regent of Landak, West Kalimantan, Monday (23/5/2022).

Some resistance has started to appear in connection with the appointment of acting regional heads. This resistance reminds us that immediate improvements should be made.

Resistance recently appeared in, among other areas, Southeast Sulawesi. Southeast Sulawesi Governor Ali Mazi postponed the inauguration of the acting regents of Central Buton and South Buton because their appointment by the Home Minister was not in line with his recommendation.
