Jokowi Disebut Jadi Orang Terkaya Nomor 18 di Asia, Ini Fakta Sebenarnya!

 

Joko Widodo is the current President of Indonesia, elected in July 2014. Widodo, commonly called Jodowi, is the first and only Indonesia president to not come from a military background. He is a self-made millionaire and was originally mayor of his hometown, Surakarta. He then later became the Governor of Jakarta, Indonesia’s Capital. Jodowi is a widely popular President and seeks re-election in the upcoming 2019 elections. Unfortunately, he faces some serious challenges as Indonesia’s government continues to be shaken by corruption scandals.

 

Back in March, there was an investigation into a major multimillion-dollar fraud and embezzlement charge against one of the country’s high-profile politicians, Setya Novanto. Novanto is well known as one of Joko Widodo’s key political allies. This situation is haunting the president as he has tried to remove himself from the long history of Indonesia’s famously corrupt political system. Regardless, Jodowi remains very popular with his constituents, with the most recent approval ratings at 60%.

 

Jokowi has a hard road ahead of him as he attempts to balance the demands of Islamic conservatives and more progressive voters. He also is constantly under fire from human rights groups because of his proposal to outlaw gay and extramarital sex and his reluctance to ban childhood marriage. Earlier this year, Mr. Widodo also drew criticism from human rights groups for incarcerating a teen for insulting him on Facebook".
