The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) conducted a sting operation, arresting five individuals suspected of bribery related to the appointment of officials at the Ministry of Religious Affairs. One of those arrested was Romahurmuziy, a member of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR).

The arrest of Romy, the chairman of the United Development Party (PPP), adds to the growing number of elected officials (members of the DPR/DPRD) implicated in corruption cases. According to KPK data, the number of DPR/DPRD members entangled in corruption cases in 2018 surged fivefold to 103, compared to the previous year. This is the highest number ever recorded.

Members of the DPR/DPRD, who should represent the people, instead committed corruption, a despicable act that harms the nation. As is known, 41 members of the Malang City DPRD were arrested by the KPK in 2018 for collective corruption. These elected officials received bribes during the discussion of the 2015 Regional Budget (APBD).
