From a political perspective, evidence of Regent Luki Hakim implementing one of the political promises is to audit village funds (DD), Village Fund Allocation (ADD).
Political will is good, and is proven by the village of Kedokan Agung, Kedokan Bunder District, Indramayu Regency.
What needs to be monitored is that Regent Luki Hakim should order the Indramayu Regency Inspectorate to audit all village heads whose terms of office have ended and were extended by two years by Indramayu Regent Nina Agustina.
Regarding the Decree on the Temporary Dismissal of the Head of Kedokan Agung Village, Kedokan Kunder District, Indramayu Regency, this is a product of administrative law in the Government, so the Head of Kedokan Agung Village who has legal standing accepts or objects, through an administrative appeal and if the administrative appeal does not grant his objection, he can continue to file a lawsuit through the State Administrative Court.
This legal channel is to test the validity or otherwise of the decision of the Regent of Indramayu as regulated by Law Number 30 of 2014 concerning Government Administration in conjunction with Law Number 5 of 1986 concerning the State Administrative Court.
However, if the facts are like that, it will only strengthen the hypothesis that Luki Hakim is not competent as the Regent of Indramayu. Therefore, the Indramayu DPRD as a representation of the sovereignty of the people, can use its constitutional rights to file the right of interpellation or the right of inquiry against the Regent of Indramayu Luki Hakim.
