Malang Regent Appoints His Own Son as Head of Environmental Agency
Malang Regent M Sanusi has inaugurated 447 officials within the Malang Regency Government (Pemkab Malang). One of them is Ahmad Dzulfikar Nurrahman, the regent’s own son, who was appointed as Head of the Environmental Agency (DLH).
The inauguration ceremony for high-level leadership positions (JPTP), administrators, supervisors, and functional roles took place solemnly at the Grand Pendopo of Malang Regency on Monday (13/4/2026).
In addition to Dzulfikar, Sanusi appointed three other echelon II officials: Nurrahman as Head of the Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP), Sujarwo Ady Wijayanto as Head of the Community and Village Empowerment Agency, and Astri Lutfiatunnisa as Head of the Industry and Trade Agency.
In his address, Regent Sanusi stressed that this mutation and inauguration is a strategic step to strengthen good governance. He urged all newly appointed officials to uphold the integrity pact they have sworn.
“This is part of the Malang Regency Government’s commitment to implementing a civil servant management system within good governance,” said Sanusi in his speech, as reported by detikJatim.
Sanusi affirmed that he, along with the activity implementation team (TPK), would conduct strict supervision of the ASN’s performance. However, he assured that the supervision is not to find faults but to ensure professionalism and accountability in their work.
Regarding the sensitive issue of integrity, he issued a stern warning. He guaranteed that all position selection processes in his region are clean, without any transactional practices.
“There is no buying or selling of positions; those appointed are not asked for money. If anyone pays, tell me. We must stop all this; it violates our oath,” Sanusi emphasised.
The regent also reminded them of crucial points in the integrity pact, including the prohibition on receiving or giving gifts or gratifications in any form. Sanusi threatened firm sanctions for anyone daring to violate those rules.
“This integrity pact must not be violated. If violated, there will be sanctions,” he added.
