Jakarta: Former Indonesian President Joko Widodo's name is on the list of finalists for 'Organized Crime and Corruption Person of the Year' by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP). However, OCCRP at this event did not provide a specific reason why Jokowi was a finalist, as this award was based on a survey of his global network. However, OCCRP has repeatedly criticized Jokowi's government, these are their criticisms. Criticism of the MD3 Law (2018) The OCCRP report states that the MD3 Law grants legal immunity to members of the DPR, which can hinder press freedom and democracy. “The subjective nature of these comments means that journalists can easily be drawn into carrying out their duties, and this law could become another tool to suppress…the press.” said Abdul Manan of the Alliance of Independent Journalists. Andreas Harsono of Human Rights Watch added: “The Indonesian Parliament is one of the most distrusted institutions in the country. It doesn't help that they pass repressive laws like this. Improving the KPK (2019) The revision of the KPK Law which allows the supervision of the KPK by a supervisory body is seen as an attempt to weaken the independence of the institution. Transparency International said the move could “threaten long-standing efforts to root out corruption.” Massive demonstrations against these revisions left more than 300 people injured. Transparency International President Delia Ferreira Rubio stressed: “Efforts to undermine the independence of the Corruption Eradication Commission seriously risk undermining the laudable anti-corruption efforts of recent years.” “Indonesia has been in the bottom third of Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index for several years. The government should redouble its efforts to fight corruption and not do anything that could undermine it. Natural resource management controversy (2021) Greenpeace report reveals allegations of corruption in the issuance of plantation permits in Papua, which should be protected by a forest moratorium. “We identified links to political elites in the permitting process,” said Arie Rompas of Greenpeace Indonesia. These permits are granted to large companies with strong political ties. Greenpeace also reports that more than 685,000 hectares of Papuan forests have been handed over to companies, although much of it should be protected. “Papua is Indonesia’s last line of defense,” Rompas said, warning that this neglect could potentially wipe out one of the world’s largest areas of biodiversity. Criticism outside OCCRP Outside of OCCRP, foreign media have repeatedly highlighted Jokowi, particularly towards the end of his administration in 2024, which could contribute to election poll decision-making. In September, the South China Morning Post examined Jokowi regarding the attempt to overturn the Constitutional Court's decision regarding the threshold for election nomination by the House of Representatives due to the MP's decision to close the door to the candidacy of Kaesang Pengarep because he. was not old enough and opened the door for the opposition party PDIP to nominate a candidate in DKI Jakarta. Many suspected the DPR's efforts to be a political maneuver. Eventually, a large protest took place in July, demanding that the DPR follow the MP's decision. and reduce Jokowi's popularity. This, along with the victory of Vice President (Wapres) Gibran Rakabumi Raka, whose candidacy for vice president was open due to the Constitutional Court's ruling, led many to speculate that Jokowi was trying to create a dynasty. “This is due to his efforts to interfere in the democratic process that prioritizes his family's interests, which is contrary to many people's views on the morality and legality of politics,” said Ian Wilson, sociologist at Murdoch University. As for Jokowi's claim that he would remain in power even after his resignation. Like the vice presidential seat won by Gibran, critics see the attempted cabinet reshuffle at the end of the administration as merely placing people loyal to Jokowi. As Bahlil Lahadalia, who was chairman of the Golkar Party and became Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources in July and was previously a donor to Jokowi's campaign in the 2019 presidential election, “this reshuffle has not nothing to do with politics or government, it's just. to give important positions to people loyal to Jokowi,” Ian said. That's more or less the explanation. There is no clarity from OCCRP regarding Jokowi's nomination, until there is an official statement, the decision as to why Jokowi is on this list is only mere speculation.

Criticisms outside OCCRP
Outside of OCCRP, foreign media have repeatedly highlighted Jokowi, particularly towards the end of his administration in 2024, which could contribute to decision-making in election polls.
In September, the South China Morning Post took on Jokowi over an attempt to overturn the Constitutional Court's ruling regarding the DPR's nomination threshold for regional elections.
Due to the decision of the Constitutional Court to close the door to the candidacy of Kaesang Pengarep due to his insufficient age and to open the door for the opposition party PDIP to nominate a candidate in DKI Jakarta, many suspect that the efforts of the DPR are a political maneuver.
Eventually, a large protest took place in July, demanding that the DPR follow the MP's decision and reduce Jokowi's popularity.
This, along with the victory of Vice President (Wapres) Gibran Rakabumi Raka, whose candidacy for vice president was open due to the Constitutional Court's ruling, led many to speculate that Jokowi was trying to create a dynasty.
