JAKARTA - The Constitutional Court (MK) has decided to summon the Minister of Finance (Menkeu) Sri Mulyani and three other ministers of the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet to hear her testimony as a witness in the General Election Result Dispute (PHPU) trial on Friday, April 5, 2024.

Finance Minister Sri Mulyani said that she would attend the General Election Result Dispute Session on Friday, April 2, 2024.

"If there is an official law, God willing, it will be present," he explained to the media crew in Jakarta, Tuesday, April 2.

Previously, the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court (MK) Suhartoyo said that he had banned four ministers of President Joko Widodo or Jokowi to hear his testimony as a witness in the General Election Result Dispute (PHPU) trial.

The four ministers include Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture (Menko PMK) Muhadjir Effendy, Minister of Social Affairs (Mensos) Tri Rismaharini, Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto and Minister of Finance (Menkeu) Sri Mulyani.

"Based on the results of the meeting of His Excellency the judges this morning, the first thing that the Court needs to hear is Muhadjir Effendy Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture, Airlangga Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Sri Mulyani Minister of Finance, Tri Risma Harini Minister of Social Affairs," Suhartoyo said in the trial, Monday, April 1.

Not only that, the court also agreed to present the Honorary Council of Election Organizers (DKPP). However, it is emphasized that their summons does not mean that the court accommodates the applicants. However, it is only for the benefit of the trial.

"This is solely for the benefit of the judges. In simple language, we reject the petitioners' petition, but we take a separate stance because the positions of the judges choosing these parties are considered important to be heard at trial," he said.

The plan is for the four Jokowi ministers to be presented and their statements heard this weekend. "Hopefully it can be heard on Friday, April 5, 2024," said Suhartoyo.
