PKS appoints lawmaker to replace Arifinto

The Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) executive board has appointed a replacement for Arifinto, the lawmaker who was caught watching pornographic content on a tablet during a plenary session several weeks ago, a party official says.

“The party has appointed Mardani, another cadre, to fill the post. Mardani comes from the same region as Arifinto, in Karawang, West Java,” House of Representatives PKS chairman Mustafa Kamal said Monday, as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.

He added that Mardani would take up his post as lawmaker in the immediate future.
