Senayan Shakedown

Senayan Shakedown Negotiations over the extension of Freeport Indonesia’s contract of work have attracted the greed of Senayan politicians. Last Monday, Energy and Mineral Resources Sudirman Said reported House Speaker Setya Novanto to the DPR ethics committee for misrepresenting President Joko Widodo and Vice President Jusuf Kalla, in exchange for facilitating the mining contract extension. This was disclosed in a recording of a meeting between Setya, businessman Muhammad Riza Chalid and Freeport Indonesia CEO Maroef Sjamsoeddin. How deep is the involvement of the DPR speaker, who is already involved in a number of other corruption cases? Interview: Attorney-General H.M. Prasetyo HE was enraged when his name was cited in the suspected corruption case of the North Sumatra social welfare funds involving its governor Gatot Pujo Nugroho. But was he involved? In an exclusive interview, the attorney-general answers questions on the allegations against him and on charges of dragging his feet over controversial cases, such as the one involving former KPK chairman Bambang Widjojanto and a number of past human rights cases. Outreach: Hope Amid The Haze THIS year will go down in history as the worst case of forest fi res in Indonesia. Thousands of hectares of forests and peatlands in Kalimantan, Sumatra and Papua were set ablaze for weeks, emitting destructive haze and causing untold damage beyond national borders. Yet amid the yearly destruction, groups of dedicated environmentalists—in Sumatra, East Kalimantan and Papua—continue to tend the forests, restoring critically damaged land back to its arable condition. All these activities, no matter how small, have inspired hope in our forests. A Tempo English report in support of the upcoming COP 21 conference to be held in Paris in early December, and attended by 192 countries, including Indonesia.
