Back in 2018, a plan was initiated to establish Bandung as a smart city. When Yana Mulyana (Gerindra) was appointed Mayor of Bandung in 2022, the program, Bandung Smart City, was still maximizing its CCTV services and internet services (internet service providers/ISPs). But the plan was tarnished with a case of alleged corruption. In 2023, Yana was found guilty. The investigation however did not stop there. In March 2024, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) announced the development of the case and named five new suspects including four DPRD members. To everyone’s surprise, last week, three of the new suspects were re-inaugurated as DPRD members for the 2024 to 2029 term. But that did not last long. This week, KPK officially announced their development and immediately detained the new suspects. To subscribe please click here
