The government has temporarily suspended director of state power firm PT PLN, Hariadi Sadono, following his arrest by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK)

"As of June 24, the office of state enterprises has temporarily suspended HS [Hariadi Sadono]. He will be placed back in his position or given another position in the company if he is found not guilty," PLN president commissioner Al Hilal Hamdi said in a text message on Thursday.

As PLN's director, Hariadi was responsible for overseeing electricity supply outside Java and Bali. He has been named as a suspect for his alleged role in a corruption case involving an Rp 80 billion project. He was arrested by the KPK on Wednesday.

Al Hilal said that PLN's director for Java and Bali, Murtaqi Syamsuddin, would temporarily replace Hariadi.
