Two PKP Director Generals Resign, Minister Ara Explains the Reasons

Minister of Housing and Settlement Areas (PKP) Maruarar Sirait has stated that the director general who resigned, namely Director General of Governance and Risk Control Azis Andriansyah, has returned to his original institution in the police. “The regulation from the Ministry of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform indeed prohibits personnel from the police. So, they (former PKP Director Generals) are returned to their institutions. Returned to the police,” said Ara, the familiar name for Maruarar, when met in Jakarta, quoted from Antara, Wednesday (29/4/2026). Azis Andriansyah is a graduate of the Police Academy in 1998 and has pursued police education up to Sespimti as well as academic education up to PhD level. Before becoming a director general, Azis held various strategic positions in the police, such as Chief of Depok Police Resort. Meanwhile, Ara did not provide further explanation regarding the resignation of Director General of Rural Housing Imran. Unlike Azis, Imran has a background as a civil servant (PNS) who previously served in the Ministry of Home Affairs. “His performance is good. His performance is very good,” said Ara. Furthermore, Ara has appointed Roberia as Acting Director General of Governance and Risk Control at the Ministry of PKP to replace Azis. “Mr Minister of Housing wants to show that the Ministry of PKP is a law-abiding ministry. In Polri Regulation Number 10 of 2025 Article 3 paragraph (2), the Ministry of PKP is not included among those that can be occupied by Polri,” said Roberia. Regarding the appointment of a replacement for Imran, Roberia stated that a replacement has already been appointed, but did not reveal the name. “There is already (a replacement). It cannot be left vacant,” he said. On that occasion, Roberia stated that he has been Acting Director General of Governance and Risk Control at the Ministry of PKP for three days. He was given a mandate by Ara to ensure that the 3 million housing development programme runs efficiently and free from corruption.
