"Because that is what is regulated by the 1945 Constitution, namely the Constitutional Court's decision is final and binding," he added.

As a state of law, Jokowi believes that the government must act according to the existing corridor. So that in the future, state life can be carried out properly according to existing procedures.

Furthermore, Jokowi also advised the Constitutional Court to be able to make decisions that are able to provide solutions to problems in this country. However, he reminded that the institution's decision must be certain, fair, and provide benefits.
