Abuse of power allegedly happened in the procurement of the company’s Portable Data Terminal (PDT) for the fiscal year 2012/2013.

Government Regulation in Lieu of Law (Perppu) is one of Indonesia’s legal products that have gone increasingly popular. The discourse that caused the recent spike in the use of Perppu was the passage of the Perppu that effectively returned the people’s right to vote for their regional leaders, the right that was taken away with the passage of a revised regional elections law.

Investigators at the Attorney General Office (AGO) are now targeting new suspects in the case of alleged corruption related to the broadcasting program of the state-owned television station Televisi Republik Indonesia (TVRI) that happened during the fiscal year of 2012. The case allegedly cost the State Rp47 billion in losses.

The internal dynamics of state-operated television station Televisi Republik Indonesia (TVRI) have changed ever since it became a Public Broadcaster (LPP), following the provisions of Law No. 32/2002 on Broadcasting.

This was done in an effort to distance TVRI from the olden days of government propaganda. But the change in TVRI may not have happened for the better.
