THE law seems to find it very hard to get to grips with Setya Novanto. The notorious Golkar Party Chairman seems to be able to bend and stretch any rules to suit him. Now, for the second time, he showed his invulnerability to his charges over corruption in the nationwide citizen's electronic identity card (e-KTP) project. It all began when the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) declared several members of the House of Representatives (DPR), including Setya, had been involved in plundering the e-KTP project, causing the State losses of Rp2.3 trillion. The politicians struck back, through the 'rap of the gavel tactic' employed by Deputy DPR Speaker Fahri Hamzah who is close to Setya, then formed a Special Ad Hoc Committee to investigate the KPK. When that move was unable to deter KPK from naming him a suspect in the case, Setya countered with a pre-trial suit. Unfortunately, South Jakarta District Court Judge Cepi Iskandar upheld his suit, overturning Setya's status as a suspect. The absurdity continued when Setya's lawyers then reported KPK Chairman Agus Rahardjo and his deputy Saut Situmorang, together with 24 of the institution's investigators, to the police.
