<![CDATA[The granting of certain positions to family members by regional heads in connection with criminal acts of corruption in government has become highly controversial because it has implications for social welfare and public perceptions of government integrity. In theory, regional heads granting certain positions to family members in connection with criminal acts of corruption or nepotism will exacerbate existing social stratification because government positions or benefits are given based on family ties or close relationships rather than merit. This has an impact on inequality of opportunity and distribution of resources, as seen in several cases such as the former Governor of Banten, Ratu Atut Chosiyah, and the former Governor of North Maluku, Abdul Gani Kasuba, who are suspected of using their political power to appoint family members to important positions in the government, which has triggered negative perceptions among the government and the people and has an impact on indications of corruption.
