TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Donal Paris, Coordinator of Politics Department for the Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) said that President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo has made another mistake by appointing H.M. Prasetyo as the new Attorney General. He said that Prasetyo is from the National Democratic (NasDem), therefore he is prone of intervention.
"[Jokowi's] first mistake was when Jokowi elected politician Yasonna Laoly as the Law and Human Rights Minister. Now, he elects another politician," Donal told Tempo on Thursday, November 20, 2014. Yasonna Laoly, politician from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle was alleged for being involved in an electoral case in South Nias, North Sumatera.
Donal claimed that Jokowi had also made a mistake by asking political parties to nominate candidates to fill the Attorney General position. Donal said that Jokowi should not ask political parties to propose candidates.
