JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – Vice President Jusuf Kalla supports Comr. Gen. Budi Gunawan by saying he would inaugurate the three-star police general if he has the authority to inaugurate the three-star police general.
Kalla, however, asked people to wait to the decision from President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo, Kompas.com reported, Tuesday (Feb 17).
President Jokowi has not yet made any statement on the matter. But earlier the President said he will announce his decision after the court issuing the ruling on Budi Gunawan’s pre trial lawsuit against the KPK.
As reported earlier, the court ruling favored Budi Gunawan. The ruling said KPK’s decision to name Budi as graft suspect is baseless and illegitimate. (haryantosuharman@yosefardi.
