Abstract: After the proclamation of Indonesian independence on August 17, 1945, the founding fathers of the nation formulated the objectives of the Indonesian state as stated in the preamble of the 1945 Constitution. In an effort to achieve the intended national goals, the President of the Republic of Indonesia, since the era of President Sukarno until now namely President Joko Widodo has implemented various policies. One of the national policies in the reform era, namely the 1990s, was a change in the principle of government from centralization to decentralization. Since the implementation of the decentralization principle there have been two prominent issues relating to the Regional Head First, the number of Regional Heads sentenced to prison for committing corruption and accepting bribes.
