A FEROCIOUS argument broke out in the living room of Novel Baswedan's house on Jalan Deposito, Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta, in the wee hours of Friday two weeks ago. Novel, an investigator with the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), refused to sign an arrest warrant presented by Adj. Comr. T.D. Purwantoro from the National Police (Polri)'s Crime Investigation Division (Bareskrim).
MUHAMMAD Prananda Prabowo occasionally rubbed his nose with the tip of his index finger as he stood in front of the audience attending the 4th Congress of Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P). Flanked by Hasto Kristiyanto and Sukur Nababan, Prananda kept his face down and blushed when his mother, Megawati Soekarnoputri, teased him during the announcement of the new board for 2015-2020.
"Prananda here likes to hide," Mega told the congress at Hotel Grand Bali Beach, Denpasar, Friday two weeks ago. During the congress, Prananda was appointed as Head of Creative Economy, a position in the party's central executive board. Yet, as if to confirm his mother's jest, Prananda disappeared into the throng of participants shortly after.
PRESIDENT Joko Widodo tried his best this week to persuade House of Representatives (DPR) Speaker Setya Novanto to revoke the recently issued presidential regulation allowing the increase in cash advances on car purchases for state officials. In a consultation meeting with the DPR leader Monday last week, Jokowi blamed his change of heart on the spike in fuel prices and the weakening economy. "When we discussed this at the DPR, fuel prices were good, but the prices have now jumped," Jokowi relayed to Tempo last Tuesday.
STANDING before 500 employees of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), Taufiequrachman Ruki presented his plan to assess the commission's independent investigators. This was during a closed-door meeting held on the first Tuesday in March.
The acting KPK Chairman Ruki claimed he had consulted the head of the KPK Legal Affairs Bureau, Chatarina Girsang, about the legal basis of appointing independent investigators. "My question to Ibu Chatarina was whether there were any commission rules or government regulation concerning the appointment of KPK investigators. She said there were none," said Ruki, in a recording of the meeting that Tempo obtained.
