Mochamad Hasbi

Mochamad Hasbi (20 January 1939 – 25 November 2022) was an Indonesian army officer and politician who served as the Regent of Boyolali from 1984 until 1994 and the deputy speaker of the Central Java Regional People's Representative Council from 1999 until 2007.

He pursued further military education at the advanced officer's course in 1977 and the Indonesian Army Command and General Staff College in 1978.

[12][13] He accused those who refused to be resettled as member of the then-banned Communist Party of Indonesia[14] attempting to sabotage the government's plan.

[15] The military later deployed two companies of troops from the local infantry battalion on Hasbi's request to force the villagers out of the area.

A year later, in 1995, Hasbi became the chairman of the Central Java chapter of the Mutual Assistance Consultative Organisation, one of the non-political wings of Golkar, the ruling party at that time.

[16] Hasbi was nominated as a member of the Central Java Regional People's Representative Council in the 1997 Indonesian legislative election from Golkar.

[17] In 2003, Hasbi was implicated in a corruption case involving the misappropriation of the provincial budget funds of approximately 18.2 billion rupiahs.

[19] Prosecutors for the case demanded two years of prison, a fine 100 million rupiahs, and for Hasbi to return all of the funds he had misappropriated.
