Kaesang Pangarep to Face Anti-Corruption Inquiry

Indonesia's anti-corruption agency is set to summon Kaesang Pangarep, the youngest son of President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo, to clarify his recent use of a private jet for an overseas trip. The inquiry follows public anger and protests that have emerged over the potential misuse of state resources, particularly amid accusations that the trip could be considered a form of gratification linked to his father's position. Anti-Corruption Society (MAKI) has highlighted concerns that benefits received by the President's family could influence official decisions, urging a report to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) within 30 days to assess the situation. Deputy Chief Alexander Marwata stated that if the private jet's usage is connected to the President's role, it may be classified as an improper gift. As scrutiny increases, Jokowi has faced claims of building a political dynasty, which he denies, particularly as his eldest son recently secured a vice-presidential position. Kaesang has not yet responded to the allegations, and further details on the questioning timetable remain unclear.
