Home Minister Gamawan Fauzi has suspended Brebes regent Indra Kusuma, who is standing trial for a graft case.
Assistant to the Central Java regency’s secretary Muhammad Supriyono said the suspension order was issued on Aug. 7, but only took effect on Wednesday after the regional government received a ministerial decree regarding the policy.
Deputy Regent Agung Widiyantoro will take over from Indra as acting regent and will be named the definite regent if the Supreme Court convicts the non-active regent.
Supriyono said Indra would no longer be entitled to facilities he used to enjoy as the regent. “We will give him time to return the facilities,” Supriyono was quoted by Antara news agency.
Indra is being charged with marking up the price of a 2,000 square meter plot of land procured for a market construction project in 2003
