TULUNGAGUNG – Tulungagung’s regional administration has reshuffled acting leaders in three major government agencies as several strategic positions remain without permanent officials. The move marks another temporary adjustment within the local bureaucracy while the administration continues evaluating leadership placements.
Acting Regent Ahmad Baharudin said the changes were officially implemented earlier this week. The reshuffle affected the Environmental Agency, Education Office, and Regional Revenue Agency.
“The replacement of acting officials was carried out on Monday,” Baharudin said on Thursday.
At the Environmental Agency, Anang Pratistianto took over the acting leadership role from Suyanto. Suyanto had handled both positions while also leading the Agriculture Agency.
Meanwhile, Fajar Widariyanto assumed leadership of the Education Office. He replaced Deni Susanti, who previously managed duties as acting chief and office secretary at the same time.
The Regional Revenue Agency also received new temporary leadership. Tranggono Dibjoharsono now leads the agency in an acting capacity, replacing Sonny Jatmiko.
Anang Pratistianto and Tranggono Dibjoharsono currently serve as assistant secretaries within the Tulungagung regional administration. Fajar Widariyanto also continues leading the local Industry and Trade Agency alongside his new assignment.
Baharudin stressed that the latest reshuffle only covered three agencies. Other regional offices that still lack definitive leaders will continue operating under their current acting officials.
“Others remain unchanged. We have not made further adjustments yet,” he said.
Several agencies in Tulungagung still operate under temporary leadership, including the Housing and Settlement Agency and the Community and Village Empowerment Agency.
Baharudin also confirmed that the acting head of the Highways Division at the Public Works and Spatial Planning Agency will stay in place for now. He said he still needed further evaluations before making additional changes.
“I still need to call Mr. Sodik,” Baharudin added.
Separately, Baharudin said he plans to strengthen the role of the regent’s expert staff to support government operations. He wants the advisers to take a more active role in helping agencies solve administrative and institutional problems.
“They will help support my work and assist in responding to problems within the agencies,” he said.
