Tensions were high on Monday two weeks ago during a meeting between Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) leaders and KPK investigators. When KPK deputy head Adnan Pandu Praja suggested a moratorium on the investigation of corruption, they boiled over. "Investigators immediately protested Adnan's suggestion," a KPK employee told Tempo.
Adnan said a moratorium was needed to put a halt to the incessant attacks of corruption suspects towards the KPK. He pointed to the pre-trial hearings of seven corruption suspects lodged at the South Jakarta District Court in recent months. Of those seven, three won their hearings, and their suspect-statuses were invalidated.

Two hours ahead of President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo's arrival at the Abepura Correctional Facility in Jayapura, five prisoners were handed a package. Inside each was a white-collared T-shirt. "The T-shirts were sent by the Presidential Security Detail (Paspampres)," said Latifah Anum Siregar, the prisoners' lawyer, last Wednesday. The five men were already wearing pants and black shoes bought by Latifah the day before.
Touching down around 3pm, Jokowi immediately sought out the prisoners. "Jokowi wanted to have an intense face-to-face conversation with them," Latifah said. Jokowi was joined by his wife, Iriana Widodo, Justice and Human Rights Minister Yasonna Laoly and Deputy Governor of Papua, Klemen Tinal. Jokowi sat across from the five men.

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.
