Regarding the Supreme Court Judge’s case, will there be reforms in the Supreme Court?

President of the Republic of Indonesia (Joko Widodo)

We should wait until the Corruption Eradication Commission’s (KPK) legal process is completed. That was the first. Second, I acknowledge the urge to reform our legal system, and I have directed the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs to do so. So, please ask the Minister instead. Yes, I think we will follow the entire legal process at the KPK.

Pak President, any comment regarding the KPK’s difficulty to arrest Lukas Enembe?

President of the Republic of Indonesia (Joko Widodo)

It’s the same. I believe that everyone must respect the KPK legal process. In the eyes of the law, everyone is equal. I’ve also stated that everyone should respect the KPK’s call and the legal process. That’s all. (YC/EST)
