Villages become busier than usual, Village Funds with a sizeable range of 800 million to 1.2 billion in each village that must be spent in one year of the budget become a serious problem for most villages in Indonesia, then the regulations also become more complicated with a mechanism that is also difficult at the village level, given that the human resources owned by the village have not yet been fulfilled and so on, so that ultimately the misuse of funds that end up in crime is very common to the village head in Indonesia, “he said.
