inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. Minister of Villages and Development of Disadvantaged Regions, Yandri Susanto, collaborates with law enforcement agencies to monitor village fund budgets.

Among the collaborators are the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), the Indonesian National Police (Polri), and the Attorney General's Office.

The cooperation between the parties aims to prevent misuse of village fund budgets, especially by village heads.

According to him, in the last few years, irregularities in the use of village funds have been found.

"Even some of our findings found that the funds were used for online gambling or other fictitious activities such as comparative studies and technical guidance," he said on Wednesday (3/12/2025).

On this occasion, he also advised all village heads and sub-district heads to use the budget properly.

"We will definitely act on any illegal practice of using the village funds that we find,” assured Yandri.
