The regent of Kapuas, Ben Brahim S. Bahat and his wife, Ary Egahni, are alleged to have committed corruption to fund their participation in regional head and legislative elections.

As James Freeman Clarke said, a politician thinks about the next election while the statesman thinks about the next generation.

Regional heads and former regional heads constitute the majority of public leaders involved in corruption. KPK data show that the commission handled cases that involved 143 governors, mayors, regents or their deputies.
