00:00President Jokowi's press statement on August 27, 2024
00:09sparked speculation that it was a settings interview.
00:12One of them looks like it doesn't highlight the identity of a mass media company,
00:16as is usually the case.
00:18Other things are not heard by reporters,
00:20who are usually in a huff and a huff,
00:23asking questions to Jokowi.
00:26In the video clip,
00:28Jokowi gives an explanation of the demonstration,
00:31rejecting the ruling by the Democratic People's Republic of Indonesia.
00:34He praises the DPRK's rapid action to stop the ruling.
00:38The president also praised the DPRK's rapid action
00:40in discussing the RUU's violation of criminal acts.
00:44In front of the members of the protocol and media,
00:46the Secretary of the Presidency, Yusuf Permanah,
00:49rebuked the accusation that the palace was pretending
00:52or doing a settings interview with Jokowi.
00:55Yusuf said there was no gimmick, let alone a setting.
00:58He said that in order to give a press statement.
01:03A researcher from the Anti-Corruption Study Center
01:05at the Mullah Warman University, Herdian Syah Hamzah, said
01:08that President Jokowi's press statement
01:10on the RUU's violation of assets
01:12was just a continuation of the judicial revisions
01:15that were rejected by the public some time ago.
01:18He accused the president of trying to restore public trust
01:21after being criticized for the policy of the dynasty
01:23at the end of his term in office.
01:26Herdian Syah said that the RUU's violation of assets
01:29has been going on for a long time,
01:30even before Jokowi became president.
01:32If there is a political will,
01:34Jokowi should encourage the RUU's violation of assets
01:37day by day,
01:38especially the party that supports Jokowi,
01:40the majority in parliament.
01:42A researcher from the Indonesian Parliamentary Society Forum,
01:45Lucius Karus, said
01:47that Jokowi was criticized a lot
01:49for the judicial revisions and the neglect of the political will of the dynasty.
01:52He accused Jokowi of trying to restore public trust.
01:55Lucius argued that his choice was to restore public trust
01:58by supporting the RUU's violation of assets.
02:02According to Lucius,
02:03Jokowi realized that the RUU's violation of assets
02:05would not be tolerated
02:07for the rest of the DPR's term in office.
02:09After the president sent a surprise message
02:11in May 2023,
02:13the leadership of the DPR should hold a meeting
02:15with Musyawara
02:16to determine the complete nature of D1
02:18that will discuss the RUU with the government.
02:20However, that step has not yet been done.
02:23Lucius said,
02:24this shows that the DPR and the government
02:26do not make the RUU's violation of assets a priority.
02:30A researcher from Indonesia Corruption Watch, Diki Anandia, said
02:33Jokowi's statement at the end of his term
02:35seemed to throw a hot ball at the DPR.
02:38The discussion of the RUU's violation of assets
02:40has been going on for more than 10 years.
02:43The president did send a surprise message to the DPR
02:45in May 2023,
02:47but the academic report and the RUU's draft
02:49of the violation of assets
02:51have actually been there since 2012.
02:53Diki said,
02:54the RUU then experienced a change
02:56and was sent by the organization team
02:58in 2016 to the government.
03:00Since then, until 2023,
03:02before the surprise message was sent,
03:04the draft was put on the government's table.
03:08Diki assessed that the eradication of corruption
03:10has not yet become the government's priority agenda.
03:12Over the five years of Jokowi's administration,
03:14the number of corruption cases has always increased.
03:16In 2023,
03:18there were 791 cases of corruption,
03:21with 1,695 suspected.
03:24This number has increased compared to 2022,
03:26which was 579 cases,
03:29with 1,396 suspected.
03:33The recovery of state corruption
03:34due to corruption has not been maximum.
03:36In 2022,
03:38of the Rupiah 48.7 trillion
03:40recorded as state corruption,
03:42the recovery of state corruption is only 7%,
03:44or Rupiah 3.8 trillion.
03:47According to Diki,
03:48this happened because the government
03:50did not have a political and legal orientation
03:52to support the effort to eradicate assets.
03:54The government and the DPR also did not commit
03:56to push for a speedy discussion
03:58and investigation of the RUU's violation of assets.
04:00Diki argued,
04:02it's not just the DPR that is delaying,
04:04but the government too.
