TheThousand Islands regionwill hold a sudden drug test forall of their officials.
The place and time are not confirmed yet. We will do it abruptly, said Thousand Islands Regent Irmansyah as cited from pulauseribu.jakarta.go.id.
The government will work togetherwith North Jakarta National Narcotics Agency (BNN) to make sure that the officials are drug-free.
The decision has been made following the arrest of a sub-districtofficial for using narcotics.
The case is now being handled by the police. We ask them to process it based on the law. Do not let it become a bad precedent and lets make it as a lesson for other officials so they never try to use narcotics, he added.
BNN is on fire to eradicate narcotics in Indonesia. Its latest report claimed that theagency has uncovered 423 cases just in the first six months of 2017.
