KONTAN.CO.ID - Central Java governor Ganjar Pranowo is ready to appoint a temporary replacement for Tegal mayor Siti Masitha Soeparno who was arrested in a sting operation launched by Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) investigators on Tuesday. “The appointment [of an acting Tegal mayor] is needed to guarantee that public service deliveries in the city can continue. We are now waiting [for the naming of Siti Masitha as a suspect]. Once it is announced, we will prepare the acting major,” said Ganjar on the sidelines of a work visit in Batang regency, Central Java, on Wednesday. Siti Masitha is not the first regional head arrested over graft allegations as KPK investigators previously apprehended Klaten regent Sri Hartini and several Kebumen Legislative Council members and high-rank officials of the regency administration in a string of anti-graft operations.
