JAKARTA: Six Constitutional Court judges were reprimanded by an Indian administrative morality panel on Tuesday( Nov. 7 ) after it was determined that they had broken an ethics code in a decision from last month that permitted President Joko Widdo’s son to run for the vice president.
After the judge’s nine judges decided, only three days before election registration, that a minimum age requirement of 40 need not apply to all individuals, the board was formed to examine the judges’ actions in the midst of public protest.
As Prabowo Subianto’s running mate for the defense minister, the decision properly gave Gibran Rakabuming Raku, 36, a green light to enter the race.
Jimly Asshiddiqie, the chairman of the ethics board, stated during an announcement on the commission’s results that” the reported courts were found to have cumulatively violated the constitutional judges’ ethical behavior script.”
The screen was scheduled to hear complaints against three additional judges later on Tuesday, including Chief Justice Anwar Usman, the government’s brother-in-law and the brother of Gibran. The announcement was still being made.
Because they handled a situation that might have involved the chief fairness, the ethics panel claimed that the first six judges had broken the rules of decency and suitability.
Critics have claimed that Jokowi, as the leader is more commonly known, perhaps had influenced the choice. Regarding the court’s decision and the complaints, he has declined to comment.
Some political experts first viewed the addition of Gibran as a benefit for Prabowo’s third-time presidential candidate campaign because it gave him the opportunity to draw on some of Jokowi of his sizable fan base.
