While attending the Special Session of the 2024 Supreme Court Annual Report here on Wednesday, the president also urged judges to maintain integrity and protect the people.
"On behalf of the Indonesian people, I appeal to you to be judges with integrity and be protectors of the people. Show justice, uphold justice for all Indonesian people without discrimination," Prabowo remarked at the Hall of the Supreme Court in Jakarta.
He emphasized that the executive, legislative, and judiciary branches, as pillars of the trias politica, hold equal importance.
