JAKARTA - Vice President Ma’ruf Amin said the verdict or verdict against Ferdy Sambo was the right of the court. The government does not intervene in any form. "I think Sambo's decision problem is that it is the right of the court. The government cannot intervene. So that is the full right of the court, "said Ma'ruf in a press statement in Central Tapanuli, North Sumatra, as reported by Antara, Wednesday, February 15. Ma'ruf said he was watching the public's reaction to the death sentence against Ferdy Sambo. According to him, the public considers the judge's decision against Ferdy Sambo to be fair. "It's just that if I look at the reaction of the community, it is considered by the community to be fairer, not (by) the government, yes, the government must not take sides, abstain, yes, it will not give any assessment," explained Ma'ruf. He assessed that the public's positive response to the decision could mean that the judge's decision or verdict was in accordance with the aspirations of the community.
