We have handed over the Decree for the Deputy\nRegent to become the Acting Regent,\u201d said Bobby after the handover of\nthe acting Regent decree at the North Sumatra Governor\u2019s Office on\nMonday. The Governor stated that Tiorita\u2019s appointment as acting Regent\nof Langkat was a follow-up to intensive coordination between the North\nSumatra Provincial Government and the Indonesian Ministry of Home\nAffairs. According to Bobby, once the coordination process with the\nMinistry of Home Affairs was completed, the North Sumatra Provincial\nGovernment was asked to immediately appoint an acting official so that\nthe administration of Langkat Regency would not be disrupted. He also\nreminded Tiorita to maintain the integrity of the state civil apparatus\nwithin the Langkat Regency Government. Bobby stressed that civil\nservants must carry out their function as public servants professionally\nand should not be faced with a choice between serving the public or\nserving their superiors. \u201cDo not make civil servants have two choices,\nserving the public or serving the leadership. That must not happen,\u201d he\nsaid. He committed to directing all regional apparatus organisations\nwithin the Langkat Regency Government to maintain integrity and improve\nservices to the community. \u201cIn accordance with the Governor\u2019s direction,\nI will strive to restore and increase public trust in us,\u201d said Tiorita.\nPreviously, the KPK arrested seven people in a sting operation in the\nLangkat, Binjai, and Medan areas of North Sumatra, including Langkat\nRegent Syah Afandin, also known as Ondim. KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo\nsaid the seven individuals detained consisted of Syah Afandin, a civil\nservant from the Langkat Regency Government, and five private sector\nparties.<\/p>",
