Corruption
When he served as Minister of Home Affairs, there was a case of corruption in the procurement of Fire Trucks in 22 regions in Indonesia in 2002. This case dragged former Director General of Regional Autonomy Oentarto Sindung Mawardi and a number of regional heads to prison. Oentarto and a number of regional heads said Hari had to take responsibility for the corruption.[5]
