Saleh Djasit

Saleh Djasit (born 13 November 1943) is an Indonesian politician and military officer who served as the governor of Riau between 1998 and 2003, and as a member of the People's Representative Council from 1997 to 1998 and 2004 to 2008.

[2] On 3 April 1986, Djasit, then a lieutenant colonel working as a military prosecutor in South Sulawesi, was assigned to become the regent of Kampar Regency.

He returned to the military legal service upon the end of his term as regent and was promoted to brigadier general on 4 June 1997.

At the time, the political climate in Indonesia was chaotic due to the fall of Suharto, and Djasit was intercepted by dozens of protesters right after the swearing in ceremony.

[6][10] Djasit was designated as a suspect by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in November 2007, related to the procurement of 20 firetrucks in 2003.
