Many mayors and regents have been implicated in corruption cases. This, however, has not deterred corrupt local government officials. The trend of mayors and regents involved in corruption cases even increased in 2021.

The number of corruption offenses committed by mayors and regents rose to 19 in 2021 from 10 the previous year, according to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). This reverses the downward trend seen between 2018 and 2019.

On Thursday (August 11, 2022), the KPK apprehended 22 public officials suspected of involvement in bribery and receiving illegal levies. One of them was Mukti Agung Wibowo, the Regent of Pemalang, Central Java.

Previously, at least 6 corruption offenses by mayors or regents had been recorded in 2022, according to the latest data.

Overall, there have been 154 corruption offenses committed by mayors or regents since 2004. This is equivalent to 10.82% of the total corruption offenses recorded by profession or position.
