The Regional Autonomy Implementation Monitoring Committee proposes that the revision of the Village Law be discussed after the 2024 elections. In this way, the tug-of-war of political interests ahead of the elections can be avoided.

Present at the meeting which started at 11.00 to 12.15 were, among others, Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture Muhadjir Effendy; Minister of Law and Human Rights Yasonna Laoly; Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani Indrawati; Minister of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions and Transmigration; Minister for Empowerment of State Apparatus and Bureaucratic Reform Azwar Anas, and Minister for National Development Planning Suharso Monoarfa.
In addition, the House of Representatives also proposed an increase in the allocation of village funds to 20 percent of the regional transfer funds. Regarding the budget, according to Halim, the government chose not to set a certain percentage."But, in principle, there is an increase in village funds every year, and the funds that flow to the villages are defined quite broadly.
Revision related to the term of office for village heads and an increase in budget is being offered like candy during political years. Even these attractive offers for village heads seem to be utilized to smooth the victory of the 2024 elections. The reason for conflict management post-election is also considered nonsense. This is because post-election conflicts not only occur in villages, but can also occur at the district/city or even provincial level. This certainly cannot be solved by extending the term of office for the regent/mayor or governor.
Equal budget increase without strengthening the capacity of village heads and village officials can increase corruption cases. Currently, the Corruption Eradication Commission notes that more than 600 village heads are involved in corruption cases. According to Herman, this indicates weak supervision and sub-optimal work from the inspectorate. Therefore, the involvement of all stakeholders is needed, both government and law enforcement officials as well as civil society groups and the media.
