Govt to Inaugurate Temporary Regional Heads
The Home Affairs Ministry will immediately inaugurate 101 acting regional heads to replace governors, regents, and mayors whose terms end in 2022. Ministry's Director General of Regional Autonomy Akmal Malik revealed that there would be seven temporary governors, 76 temporary regents, and 18 temporary mayors. "We believe they are competent," Akmal said on Tuesday.
According to Akmal, they will serve for one year and can be reappointed if the performance is good. Continuous monitoring and evaluation will culminate in an accountability report to the president. "They must report every three months as a control mechanism," he said.
