Another resident Andah Wibisono conveyed, the actions taken by the village heads by demanding an extension of the term of office were deemed not in accordance with the wishes of the people. "It means, they betrayed us as a people,He said.
Constitutionally, he continued, the village heads have committed denial of the law (UU) Number 6 year 2014. "On the article 26 verse 4 written, the obligation of the village heads is to build a just democracy in their respective villages," he explained.
Economically, still said Andah, The extension of the term of office of the village head will only benefit him. Because, each year the village receives Rp 1 billion. "If it is extended nine years, there is Rp 9 billion that the village earned. If managed by the same person, the potential for abuse will be even greater," he concluded.(gas/abi)
