The East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) administration has announced that a civil servant from Lembata regency has been dismissed for joining the Fajar Nusantara (Gafatar) movement. Arifuddin, who works at the Lembata development planning board, has been dismissed since March 2016.

NTT Governor Frans Lebu Raya asked regents and mayors to dismiss civil servants who joined Gafatar as it is clearly prohibited by the government. "Earlier, there was a civil servant in NTT who joined Gafatar. I asked the regent to dismiss the civil servant," said Frans on Saturday.

Lembata Regent Yance Sunur confirmed the dismissal of the civil servant who he said had left work for more than a year.
