Why Jokowi Didn't Directly Show His Original Diploma Revealed in Court
Indonesia's 7th President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) revealed why he didn't immediately show his original diploma when the fake diploma allegation controversy blew up. He said this while testifying in the alleged fake diploma accusation case at the East Jakarta District Court on Thursday (11/5/2026).
Answering questions from the defendant Roy Suryo's legal counsel, Abdul Gafur Sangadji, Jokowi explained that he had twice issued warnings through his lawyer before reporting the parties questioning his diploma. He also opened the opportunity for settlement through a peace agreement involving Eggi Sudjana, Damai Hari Lubis, and Rismon Sianipar.
Jokowi stressed he wasn't convinced the issue would be resolved if his diploma was shown in a regular forum. This statement was met with a commotion from the courtroom audience.
