President Joko Widodo's decision to grant Antasari Azhar clemency has raised questions. Convicted over the murder of Nasrudin Zulkarnaen, director of Putra Rajawali Banjaran company, Antasari feels he was made a scapegoat during the administration of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Now, President Jokowi has apparently used his prerogative to undermine Yudhoyono, who still wields considerable political influence.
It is difficult to avoid the drama surrounding this clemency. Antasari, a former chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has often claimed his case was engineered. So now, he has been invited to Merdeka Palace by Jokowi. Antasari, who was sentenced to 18 years in jail, has been out on parole since he was given remissions totaling 6 years. In jail since 2010, his sentence has been reduced by 4 and half years, meaning he is now a free man.
A week after the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) held its summit in Jakarta in early March, Foreign Minister Retno Lestari Priansari Marsudi, 53, flew to Amman, the capital of Jordan.

The honorary consul will reside in Ramallah, Palestine.
Minister Retno had planned to enter Palestine from Jordan by helicopter on March 13. At the last minute, however, the Israeli government withdrew its clearance for the Indonesian delegation to fly over its territory. "That's fine. No problem," conceded Retno.
Nani Puspasari's days have recently been hectic. "I'm in the middle of a deadline," she texted Tempo a few weeks ago, as she tended to a photo-shoot for her caf project. Most of her work has been linked to her passion, which is art. Which is why she enjoys living in Melbourne, Australia where her artwork has flourished.
Nani, 29, is fortunate that her livelihood is also a passion that has earned her awards and acknowledgements. In 2008, her paintings won the Bank of Queensland Encouragement Awards, then five years later, her illustrations were shortlisted for the Create Design Award by Desktop magazine in Melbourne. Last year, her works were also shortlisted for the 2015 Premio Combat Prize (graphic arts) in Italy. "My favorite is the Silver Illustrator Australia Award 2013," she told Tempo. It was an illustration for the cover of a book written by Indonesian writer who also lives in Melbourne, Lily Yulianti Farid, Ayahmu Bulan, Engkau Matahari (Your Father is the Moon, You are the Sun).
Sarifuddin Sudding, a People's Conscience (Hanura) Party politician, cracked a joke last Tuesday during the fit-and-proper test of one of the candidates to head the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), Basaria Panjaitan. "Actually, I would like to ask more questions, but I see Trimedya keeps looking at me. He's not even blinking," he said to the laughter of those present at the meeting. Trimedya Panjaitan, an Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) politician, only smiled weakly when his colleague cracked a joke at his expense.
The suitability test of the retired police officer with the rank of inspector-general was the only one Trimedya fully attended. The deputy chair of the House of Representatives' (DPR) law commission stayed seated throughout the session from the start. That was understandable as Basaria was one of PDI-P's favorite KPK leadership candidates. Trimedya said her track record is clean because she was never made a regional police chief. "She's unblemished," he said.
The notes of the West Javanese tune Sabilulungan lilted softly in the background at the Dapur Sunda restaurant at the Pondok Indah Mall, South Jakarta, early April.

It was Endah Kaniasari Ansoroeddin, 47, patiently listening to what three of her employees had to say.
ROSARITA Niken Widiastuti did not immediately start speaking. She kept squeezing the tissue paper in her hand, as if plucking up the courage to open the conversation. "Look, let's not discuss threats," said Niken, the executive director of state-owned Radio Republik Indonesia (RRI) broadcasting station. She was on her way to Aceh, to close the Qur'an Reading Contest, along with Minister of Administrative Reform Azwar Abubakar and Aceh Governor Zaini Abdullah. "This is an annual affair of RRI," explained Niken.
She is very aware that her agency is under the public spotlight. RRI's quick count of the recent presidential polls seems to have triggered sharp debate. She now faces the prospect of being summoned by the House of Representatives' (DPR) Commission on Information, whose chairman, Mahfudz Siddiq, maintains that RRI's quick count was not part of its mandate.
The Supreme Court has rejected convicted murderer Antasari Azhars request for a review of his case, narrowing the chances for the former anti-graft commission chief to submit more appeals.
The Judicial Commission found indications of violation by the judge when sentencing Antasari Azhar to 18 years in prison in a murder case. At the same time, Antasari has prepared a request for a review of his case. Something was odd, but the judge saw causality between the events around Antasari and the death of Nasrudin Zulkarnaen.
This week a panel of judges will pass judgment on Antasari Azhar. The prosecutor is still convinced that the former Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission was the brains behind the murder of Nasrudin Zulkarnaen. On the other hand, Antasari insists that he is the victim of a conspiracy.
Antasari’s testimony has boomeranged. Meeting with suspects is against the law.
THE new leadership of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) was announced last week. Antasari Azhar, the prosecutor who people feel has a questionable record, was elected the new chairman of the institution. The Golkar and PDI-P parties played important roles behind the election outcome. Amien Sunaryadi, the candidate anticorruption activists felt was most suitable to lead the KPK, was kept out of the race. Tempo witnessed the entire election drama as it played out at the House of Representatives (DPR) in Senayan, Central Jakarta, in which Antasari came out victorious.
