A Disappointing Nation, Led by Self-Govern Oligarchy

Indonesia is currently led by a self-govern oligarchy. An oligarchy which has the very complex nature of hierarchy, that few people know how command is drawn by the ruler. 

The ruler himself, or actually herself, stands under the shadow of Indonesian fore-father. A family name that constitutes wealth and power would surely at no time could change the course of this nation. 

One name which is really powerful. One name, from any other fore-father names, reigns so long and strong, that its color symbolize power and zest. Red is the symbol of brute power and zestful indignation. Not to mention anger and strong loyalty will surely rise once your mind preoccupied by the color. 

Jokowi gains its name through his struggle as one 'valuable' member of PDI-P, has caught the highlight. As twice had been elected as Major of Solo by 92% of Solonese, Jokowi has put its greater path toward good political career. 

In 2012, his effort in running for Governor of DKI Jakarta along with his (ex) vice Governor, Basuki Tjahya Purnama or Ahok, had also won by winning the second electoral vote. 

Two years running the DKI Jakarta Governor position, Jokowi had his 'summon'. He ran for Presidency in 2014 for the first time. Though many objection and criticism burdened Jokowi's choice. 

Many also supported him to the fullest. Particularly, support came from PDI-P and in particular, a blessing from Megawati. Through struggle and hardship during the campaign, Jokowi finally won 53% of Indonesia majority vote. 

And, in his 100th days ruling, Jokowi had faced many problems. And the one giving him the burden is the conflict between KPK-Polri. As allegedly, Kapolri or head of Indonesia Police Force, Budi Gunawan (BG) is accused for his suspicious flow of money to his bank account. 

As though it is Megawati's way of saying she's still the ruling ruler, she has led Jokowi strayed by her decision. Her recommendation for Kapolri, BG, triggered as presumably the quick reaction of KPK. Or you might say a emergency action, KPK made BG as a suspect of corruption. 

Though the corruption investigation of BG has been rolling out since . The motive of subjugating BG as suspect had risen the oligarch's dislike. The oligarchy, led by Megawati using PDI-P as medium, still presume its power above Jokowi as President. 

Many wild conspiratorial assumption behind Megawati's persistent decision for BG. Jokowi as many said, is like a ventriloquist doll. The doll will say what the ventriloquist said subtly. Jokowi should be submissive toward Megawati's 'command' to him. 

The predominant reason would be paying a good willing Megawati had given to Jokowi. As Jokowi ran for Presidency by the 'good will' of Megawati and PDI-P, he should do the same thing back. And by doing so, many of Megawati's and her oligarchs tell Jokowi what to do. 

Many oligarch insiders now pose in Jokowi's inner circle. Puan Maharani, Tjahjo Kumolo, Tedjo Edhy Purdijatno are few oligarchs now ruling the inner circle. They are advocating and 'monitoring' Jokowi's act and policy. 

They are the moving drones used as the eyes of oligarchy Panopticon. And the insiders from the ruling oligarchy, has spotted one splinter hosting their flesh. The accusation toward BG is a blasphemy to the hierarchy. 

Thus, the oligarchy led by the subtle whisper of the ventriloquist should immediately get rid this nuisance. KPK's vice chief Bambang Wijoyanto (BW) was arrested in such short notice. Many believe this arrest was act of vengeance of KPK did before toward BG. 

The media froze their highlight toward the well-being and probable reason of BW arrest. Public was shocked. The social media were filled with the hashtag #SaveKPK. Public accused Bareskrim Polri, Budi Waseso as had been acted upon illegal intention. 

Wakapolri, Badrodin Haiti was perplexed by BW's arrest and said he had no authority on this case. Currently, Adnan Pandu Praja and Abraham Samad, the chiefs of KPK are under surveillance by the police. 

Now, public want Jokowi's utmost concern toward this issue. He should be able to solve the KPK-Polri issue, without  leaving any unnecessary causalities. Unnecessary causalities would be those who do not directly involve in corruption should not be apprehended. 

In other words, Polri is been cleansed. In turn, KPK is also being in focus to surcease the corruption in Polri. Jokowi had now made Tim Tujuh (Team 7). This team would accomodate and (probably) solve this perilous issue. 

And of course, this made Jokowi in the dilemma of standing against the oligarchy. Without the 'consent' of the ruling oligarchy, Jokowi would like to resolve this KPK-Polri conflict. And still, Jokowi should accommodate public's aspiration. 

As he stands on people's believe. Any distrust and disruption of the public's voice, they act accordingly and immediately. In the other side, Megawati's concern of her oligarchy's interest is on the verge. 

As BG will presumably turned down as Kapolri, her next step is unpredictable. The oligarchy is now looking for and salvage way to save BG, and of course the oligarchy. Megawati and few ruling actors behind the stage, is predicting and probably dictating steps for Jokowi. 

It's all about saving the face of the oligarchy, Megawati and PDI-P, in front of public. And this self-govern oligarchy will still reign? Public will wait and see this issue will end.
