Indonesian President Widodo ready to testify in court, present diplomas

Indonesian President Joko Widodo has declared his readiness to appear in court as a witness should the judge summon him in cases involving former minister Roy Suryo and activist Dokter Tifa. Widodo, speaking to reporters at his residence in Solo, Central Java, on Tuesday, emphasized his respect for the legal process.

"We must respect the existing legal process and mechanisms. If I am invited by the Honorable Judges to attend the trial, I will attend," Widodo stated. He intends to use this opportunity to definitively prove the authenticity of his academic qualifications.

"As I said before, I will bring and show the diplomas I possess from elementary school, junior high, high school, and university," the former mayor of Solo asserted. When asked if this commitment extended to both cases, Widodo gave a brief affirmative response.

The president's statement comes amid ongoing legal proceedings where both Suryo and Dokter Tifa are involved in separate cases. Widodo's willingness to testify underscores his stance on upholding legal procedures and addressing any doubts regarding his educational background.
