Shortly after his inauguration as Home Affairs Minister, Tito confirmed that there would be a formation of a South Papua province, which was to be split from Papua.[6]

During pandemic in 2020, he issued a ministrial decree claiming that local leaders (governors or mayors) would be directly sacked by Home Minister if they violated health regulations.[7] However, senior lawyer Yusril Ihza Mahendra explained that no minister, nor even president, had the rights to remove local leaders from their position because they were constitutionally elected by the people and only the parliament as people's representatives had the lawful rights to depose the local leaders through impeachment process.[8]
