View all search resultsThe feud between former president Joko “Jokowi” Widodo and the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) has spilled over into the legal sphere, after the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) named the party's secretary-general a suspect in a bribery case and banned another senior politician from leaving the country.
Highlighting the PDI-P senior politician’s importance in the ongoing investigation into the 2019 bribery case, the antigraft body has slapped a travel ban on Yasonna Laoly, who was law minister when key suspect and fellow PDI-P member Harun Masiku absconded.
The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) has criticized a new petition seeking to challenge the party structure at an administrative court as another attempt to undermine the party during the election year.
Yasonna Laoly, on his last day in office as law and human rights minister on Monday, said his predecessor should ensure the success of the Overseas Citizenship of Indonesia (OCI) visa plan, underlining that the inclusion of the Indonesian diaspora community was key to ensuring Indonesia’s long-term success.
The government's plan to give permanent visas to members of the diaspora and children of mixed-nationality marriages should ensure their rights to have economic opportunities including education and the ability to invest in the country without significant barriers, Indonesian former citizens and diaspora members have suggested.
The government needs to find out why mixed children aren't flocking to take up its offer and choose to gain Indonesian citizenship, lest it misses out on an opportunity to harness the huge potential of their multicultural backgrounds and global experiences in contributing to advancing the nation.
Political exiles who were rendered stateless while abroad during the 1965 communist purge demanded that the government guarantee the continuity of a nonjudicial settlement program after President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo ends his second and final term next year.
