President Joko Widodo usually chats with people close to him in the morning over tea. This takes place on the back porch that overlooks the garden of the Presidential Palace. State Secretariat Minister Pratikno and Teten Masduki, who was appointed last week as the president's chief of staff, often accompany him.
In mid-July, Jokowi was livid when the morning newspapers reported on the decision of the National Police's Criminal Investigation Unit to name Judicial Commission Chairman Suparman Marzuki and Commissioner Taufiqurrahman Syahuri as suspects in the defamation case of Judge Sarpin Rizaldi. According to an eyewitness, during their chat on the palace porch, Jokowi stood up and pointed to the newspaper on the table: "This person! How can one make a case out of a Judicial Commission ruling?"
