The 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo (Jokowi) revealed that his supervisory lecturer when compiling a thesis at the Faculty of Forestry, Gajah Mada University (UGM) was not Ir Kasmudjo. Rather, Prof. Dr. Ir. Achmad Sumitro.

"The thesis supervisor who won was not Kasmudjo, but Professor of Engineers Achmad Sumitro," said Jokowi after being questioned at the Surakarta Police, Wednesday, July 23.

However, Ir Kasmudjo did become a supervisor when he was still studying at the Faculty of Forestry UGM. However, Jokowi reiterated that he was not a thesis supervisor.

"Regarding the Chief Engineer Kasmudjo. I said that he was my supervisory lecturer, and won my supervisory lecturer," he said.

In addition to the supervisory lecturer, Jokowi also stated that the Polda Metro Jaya investigators had confiscated two of his diplomas. The confiscation was carried out related to the handling of the alleged defamation case he reported.

"Yes, a confiscation has also been carried out," said Jokowi after undergoing an examination at the Surakarta Police, Wednesday, July 23.

Two diplomas confiscated by investigators were the High School (SMA) and Strata 1 Faculty of Forestry, Gadjah Mada University (UGM).

"The investigators confiscated the original diplomas of S1 and SMA," said Jokowi.

For information, in handling this case, Polda Metro Jaya has raised the status of the case to the investigation stage. Because, it was found that there was a criminal element.

The decision to increase the status of the case is based on the results of a case conducted by the State Security Sub-Directorate (Kamneg) on Thursday, July 10.
