SiwinduMedia.com – Kamis lusa (26/10/2023), Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah (DPRD) Kabupaten Kuningan akan mengadakan sidang paripurna untuk mengumumkan pemberhentian H Acep Purnama dari jabatan Bupati Kuningan, bersama HM Ridho Suganda dari jabatan Wakil Bupati.
Ketua DPRD Kuningan, Nuzul Rachdy, dalam wawancara di ruang kerjanya setelah rapat pimpinan, Selasa (24/10/2023), menjelaskan bahwa sidang paripurna akan diadakan pada Kamis lusa dengan materi pengumuman pemberhentian Bupati dan Wakil Bupati Kuningan periode 2018-2023.
Menurut Nuzul, sesuai dengan Undang-Undang 23/2014, DPRD harus mengadakan rapat paripurna tentang pengumuman pemberhentian Kepala Daerah setidaknya satu bulan sebelum Bupati dan Wakil Bupati berhenti.
“If we look at the timeline, the Bupati and Wakil Bupati will stop on December 4, 2023. So according to the mandate of the Law, it must be done a month before they stop,” said Nuzul.
“This announcement doesn’t mean that they will stop immediately after the paripurna. This is an announcement one month before the end of the term of office,” he added.
Considering that the term of office of the Bupati and Wakil Bupati will end on December 4, 2023, Nuzul stated that the paripurna session about the announcement of the dismissal must be conducted no later than November 4, 2023. However, because November 4 is a holiday, it was scheduled a few days earlier, and agreed to be held on October 26, 2023.
“We have scheduled it for October 26, next Thursday. We initially wanted November 1, but because I, as the Chairman of DPRD, have a state call invited by Lemhannas, I have to go to Jakarta on October 27-28,” said Nuzul.
“Then from October 29 to November 10, 2023, I have to attend Lemhannas education, which will take place in Singapore. Because there is no more time, we asked for the approval of Pak Bupati, how about October 26, there is no problem,” he added.
According to Nuzul, the results of the paripurna meeting will be submitted to the Ministry of Home Affairs through the Acting Governor of West Java. As for the Acting Bupati of Kuningan, Nuzul said it will be proposed to the Ministry of Home Affairs after November 6, 2023.
“As for the proposal for an Acting Bupati, it will not be discussed in the paripurna. According to Permendagri number 4/2023, the proposal for an Acting Bupati is proposed by three levels. The first level is proposed by the DPRD through the Chairman, then by the Governor, and another proposal from the Ministry of Home Affairs. So there are 9 proposals, but it could be less,” he said.
