The Majalengka Regency government in West Java is partnering with the local District Attorney's Office (Kejari) to enhance its governance.

Majalengka Regent Eman Suherman stated that the agreement is crucial for helping local government organizations (OPDs) understand the legal framework governing their programs. "If there is doubt in carrying out activities, ask for direction and guidance so that what is done is in accordance with the applicable corridors," Suherman advised. He believes this partnership will alleviate excessive concerns among officials regarding program implementation and budget management.

Suherman clarified that this legal assistance is not a shield against wrongdoing but rather a preventive measure to ensure all activities comply with regulations. He urged all OPDs to maintain open communication with the prosecutor's office from the outset of program planning, rather than waiting for legal problems to arise.

Programs with significant benefits and large budgets will receive this support, offering peace of mind to those involved in their execution.

Head of Kejari Majalengka, Sukma Djaya Nagara, affirmed the office's readiness to provide legal aid through its public lawyer function, offering both litigation and non-litigation assistance, legal opinions, and other legal services in civil and state administrative matters. This collaboration is expected to aid in the recovery of regional assets, settlement of receivables, and handling of lawsuits involving the local government.

Through JPN, Kejaksaan Negeri Majalengka siap memberikan bantuan hukum, pendampingan hukum, maupun pendapat hukum sesuai kebutuhan pemerintah daerah.
