Kupastuntas.co, Pringsewu - Several members of the regional people's representative council (DPRD) of Pringsewu Regency assessed that from the start Adi Erlansyah had been conditioned to serve as the acting (Pj) Regent of Pringsewu for the second period. Thus, the proposal through the DPRD was carried out in a hurry.

Chairman of the Joint Faction (Nasdem and PPP) DPRD Pringsewu, Rohmansyah said the process of proposing Adi Erlansyah to become Acting Regent of Pringsewu seemed rushed, especially when inviting faction leaders.

As a result, not all faction leaders were able to attend when discussing the proposed name for the Acting Regent of Pringsewu. "I think this is intentional not to give room for the faction leaders to submit their proposals," said Rohmansyah, Tuesday (30/5/2023).

Romansyah also accused Pringsewu DPRD leaders of conditioning to nominate the sole candidate Adi Erlansyah as Acting Regent of Pringsewu.

In fact, he continued, after the meeting the participants were invited to the Regent's office to meet Adi Erlansyah in person to express their support verbally.

Member of the Pringsewu DPRD from the Gerindra faction, Sudiyono regretted the attitude of the Governor of Lampung Arinal Djunaidi who was not careful in proposing the name of the Acting Regent of Pringsewu. In fact, Adi Erlansyah will retire March 1, 2024, while the term of office of the Acting Regent of Pringsewu is until May 22, 2024.

Sudiyono also said there was carelessness on the part of the Ministry of Home Affairs when reviewing the proposed name of the Acting Regent that was submitted. "The Ministry of Home Affairs should pay close attention to the incoming files, and not just go straight to the Acc so that it doesn't cause a commotion like this," he said.

According to Sudiyono, until now the principle of 'as long as you are happy' is still used, even though on the one hand the community is smart. "The people want the government to be transparent," he said.

The Regional Secretary (Sekda) of Pringsewu, Heri Iswahyudi said the procedure for proposing an Acting Regent was the domain of the Pringsewu Regency DPRD, the Governor of Lampung and the Ministry of Home Affairs.

And the DPR RI has a control function and has the authority to summon the Minister of Home Affairs in a working meeting forum to discuss conditions that are currently of concern to the public.

The Regional Secretary asked all officials and ASN not to get involved in this polemic. "Because this is not our domain, just focus on carrying out our respective main tasks and functions. Just focus on efforts to serve the community as well as possible so that people really feel the benefits of our presence in their midst," he said.

Previously it was reported that the Governor of Lampung, Arinal Djunaidi seemed to be imposing Adi Erlansyah as Acting (Pj) Regent of Pringsewu for a second term. Because Adi Erlansyah will retire on March 1, 2024, while the position of Acting Regent of Pringsewu will last until May 22, 2024.

The head of the Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda) of Lampung Province, Adi Erlansyah, will retire on March 1, 2024. Meanwhile, Adi Erlansyah has been appointed again as Acting Regent of Pringsewu Regency until May 22, 2024.

As a result, Adi Erlansyah will not be able to complete his position as Acting Regent of Pringsewu because he has to retire on March 1, 2024. The Lampung Provincial Government through Assistant I for Government and Welfare Affairs, Qodratul Ikhwan, when contacted, confirmed that Adi Erlansyah will retire on March 1, 2024.

Qodratul said that later the regional administration would propose a replacement for the Acting Regent of Pringsewu before Adi Erlansyah entered retirement.

"Yes, later before entering retirement, the names of potential replacements have been proposed so that when the person concerned retires the replacement will be ready," said Qodratul, Monday (29/5).

Qodratul explained, the process of submitting a replacement name for Acting Regent Pringsewu will be the same as filling in the initial stage. Where the district, provincial and central governments each proposed three names.

"The process itself is the same as the initial filling. It is proposed that 3 people come from the district government, 3 people from the province or governor and 3 people from the central government," he explained. (*)
