resident Joko “Jokowi” Widodo inaugurated on Tuesday Saldi Isra, a law professor at Andalas University in Padang, West Sumatra, as the new Constitutional Court justice, replacing the disgraced former justice Patrialis Akbar, who is in detention for alleged corruption.
Saldi will serve in the post for the next five years.
The author of numerous books on good governance and constitutional laws, Saldi has received awards in the past decade as a result of his active participation in various civil society movements.
In 2004, as an activist from the West Sumatra Care Forum, he received the prestigious Bung Hatta Anti-Corruption Award for his role in revealing corruption cases centered around the West Sumatra Legislative Council’s deliberation of the state budget, dating back to 1999.
Born on Aug. 20, 1968, Saldi is currently head of Andalas University’s doctoral program in its School of Law.
He also teaches constitutional law at the Padang-based university.
