SEMPU, Jawa Radar Tile Post – Election of Village Heads Changes Between Time (PAW Pilkades) Karangsari Village, Sempu District which will be held on Wednesday (17/5) today, received a rejection from one of its residents. The resident who was determined to hold a single action was Sugiarto, 33, origin of Simbar Hamlet, Karangsari Village, Tuesday (16/5).

Sugiarto who came with a sound system and a number of posters, gave speeches in front of his village office. This reckless act, attract people's attention. In that action, Sugiarto highlighted the urgency of the Pilkades PAW which only leaves a term of office of around two years and three months. "I did not refuse (PAW), but also disagree,He said.

The solo demonstration by Sugiarto began with a speech at the intersection of four in Karanganyar Hamlet, Karangsari Village, and continued in front of the Karangsari village office. “I deliberately did not bring a lot of people, because I just want to convey a message," he said.

According to Sugiarto, Pilkades for PAW which swallowed the village budget of Rp 121 million, no great urgency. According to him, it would be wiser to let the tenure of the cadre be filled by temporary officials (Pjs) from officials at the Sempu District office. “Just let it be filled with Acting, he said.

Especially, he still said, there is no law (UU) which regulates and requires the implementation of the PAW. "I feel, without PAW no problem. Just wait until the election (village head elections) simultaneously, why even choose PAW that uses its own budget," he said.

Besides that, Sugiarto also highlighted the potential for money politics carried out by candidates for village heads. He reminded the people not to be original in choosing leaders. "Don't let the Rp 100 thousand or Rp 200 thousand, votes can be bought and have a negative impact in the future," he said.

The oration that Sugiarto made did not receive a response from the PAW Pilkades committee or the Village Consultative Body (BPD). At that time, they are all not in the village office. "I've made a notice, but not found. I want to convey this message directly (face to face)," he said.

Sugiarto threatened this action, not just this once. He will carry out a similar action before the Pilkades process is carried out. "Tomorrow (today) I will speak again. Before the event starts, I will come down again,he said.

Submission of aspirations by Sugiarto, received a relaxed response from the Karangsari Village Pilkades Committee. Deputy chairman of the committee, Ali Makrus conveyed that the action is the right of every citizen. "If anyone wants to convey aspirations, we couldn't get in the way,He said.

Important, he continued, his party has carried out the stages in a professional manner and complied with existing procedures. “Why in the end is PAW still being carried out?, This was discussed at the village meeting (Musdes), All elements have been approved,He said.

Makrus said that he would not take seriously what was conveyed by Sugiarto in his oration. The committee focuses on the selection process which will be held at the UPTD Education Building, Sempu Kecamatan District. "We focus on taking care of the venue, that's why we didn't meet Mas Giar (Sugiarto)," he said.

Sugiarto's solo demo, get the attention of the police. Even without mass, Kapolsek Sempu AKP Karyadi continues to deploy its members on standby. “We anticipate the things that are not desirable. Alhamdulillah, the process runs smoothly,He said.(sas/abi)
