Facebook user attends third hearing

Ervani Emy Handayani, a 29-year-old housewife charged with defamation after commenting on her husband’s dismissal on her Facebook page, attended her third hearing at Bantul District Court on Thursday.

            During the hearing, prosecutor Supriyadi rejected all of Ervani’s defense statements previously conveyed to the court by her lawyer from the Yogyakarta Legal Aid Institute (LBH). “We reject all the defense statements because the Facebook comments contain elements of defamation,” Supriyadi told the court.        

Ervani has found herself in court for protesting her husband’s dismissal on Facebook. She has been charged with violating Article 27 of Law No. 11/2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE Law). “I have apologized repeatedly if my comments made someone feel uncomfortable. I have even sent a written apology by mail,” Ervani said after the hearing. Hundreds of Ervani’s neighbors from Gedongan, Bangunjiwo, Kasihan district, Bantul regency, were seen in the court building to provide moral support to Ervani. Bearing demands for Ervani’s freedom, they stayed with her until she returned home.

            Ngatiyem said that what Ervani had posted on Facebook was like gossiping. The difference is that one is face-to-face communication, while the other is more public, being expressed through Facebook. “That gossiping is one of the spices of life. I think this case is ridiculous,” she said. Previously, on Monday, the court had agreed to Ervani’s request for a detention delay, so she could go back to her family and her daily life.

            Meanwhile, in Yogyakarta, law student Florence Saulina Sihombing is facing prison accused of spreading hatred through her Path account. Florence posted comments after she was refused service when she cut in line to buy fuel at Lempuyangan gas station in Yogyakarta on Aug. 27.

Jokowi’s Silent Operation Sparks Speculation

            The decision by president-elect Joko “Jokowi” Widodo to remain secretive about the selection of his Cabinet members has fueled speculation over potential political interference from political elites.

            To the surprise of many, Jokowi recently admitted the selection had reached the final phase, but only a few names for the positions have been leaked to the public and it remains unclear whether Jokowi will be able to announce the Cabinet lineup soon after his inauguration on Oct. 20.

            “Every ministerial post has been matched with candidates. Each post has four to five candidates,” he said.

            Vice president-elect Jusuf Kalla argued that the reason for keeping the names of the candidates confidential was to prevent those who eventually failed to win the jobs from being embarrassed. “Can you imagine how embarrassed a candidate could be if he or she finally failed to become a minister?” said Kalla.

            It may be due to such pressures that Jokowi carried out the recruitment in various unconventional ways and in unfixed meeting locations. Jokowi said the candidates that he interviewed might not have realized that they were actually being short-listed. “If you ask: How is the process of interview? Sometimes the interviews were done during light talks while having lunch at food stalls. The candidates that I talked to might not have realized that they were being assessed,” he said.

            Last week, Jokowi held a closed-door meeting with several business professionals at the Tugu Kunstkring Paleis restaurant in Central Jakarta.

            The meeting was supposed to be held in secret, with members of the Presidential Security Detail (Paspampres) ordering journalists to leave.

            Among those seen at the restaurant were Social Security Management Agency (BPJS) president and former Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI) chairman Fahmi Idris as well as state-run Bank Mandiri president director Budi Gunadi Sadikin.

            PT Indosat CEO and Association of Indonesian Cellular Operators (ATSI) chairman Alexander Rusli was also seen at the venue.

            Other candidates mentioned by numerous politicians include Deputy Industry Minister Alex Retraubun, Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) chairman Mahendra Siregar, state-run railway operator PT KAI’s president director, Ignasius Jonan, and Deputy Finance Minister Bambang Brodjonegoro.

KPK Takes Over Ex-Minister Graft Case from Police

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), announced on Thursday that it had taken over the investigation of a graft case implicating former health minister Siti Fadilah Supari from the National Police. The National Police have accused Siti of abusing her budgetary power during her 2004-2009 tenure as minister in a botched Health Ministry medical equipment procurement in 2005 worth Rp 15.5 billion (US$1.3 million). “The takeover is already official and the KPK will issue a sprindik [letter ordering the start of an investigation] for Siti,” KPK spokesman Johan Budi told reporters on Thursday night. Johan said the KPK did not need a permit from President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to question Siti as a suspect in the case, though she currently was serving on the Presidential Advisory Council (Wantimpres). Johan refused to comment on speculation that the KPK took over the case because the National Police were moving sluggishly due to Siti being a member of Wantimpres. “The KPK and the National Police agreed to hand over the case to the KPK,” Johan said. Siti was named a suspect by the National Police on March 28, 2012, and since then many have charged that no progress has been made by the police. The case resulted in Rp 6.1 billion in state losses.

In 2012, the KPK questioned Siti several times in relation to another corruption case at the ministry implicating former director general of medical services Ratna Dewi Umar, who was found guilty and sentenced to five years in prison. The KPK emphasized that it was still investigating the case implicating Ratna and was looking into whether Siti also played a role. That case also involved mishandled medical equipment procurement, worth Rp 40 billion in 2007. The incident cost the state Rp 6.8 billion. Previously, Ratna had said she was instructed by Siti to directly offer the tender for the procurement to a company belonging to Rudijanto Tanoesoedibjo, the brother of media mogul and vice presidential hopeful for the Hanura Party Hary Tanoesoedibjo. Siti has repeatedly denied allegations she was connected to Ratna’s case, saying she had no knowledge of foul play in the project and could not monitor the “thousands of procurement projects” at the ministry. Last year in September, the KPK said Siti and Rudijanto could be named suspects in the case if KPK investigators found compelling evidence implicating them.
