TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Minister of Justice and Human Rights Yasonna Laoly said the government is considering granting special citizenship to Arcandra Tahar.
This step is possible under Article 20 of the Law on Indonesian Citizenship, the minister said.
"It depends on the approaches. We can use Article 20," said Yasonna in Jakarta on Saturday (20/8).
As previously reported, the citizenship status of Arcandra came into the spotlight after he was appointed Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources.
Arcandra was later proved to have a US passport. With that fact, his status as an Indonesian citizen is automatically revoked because the law in Indonesia does not adhere dual citizenship.
President Joko Widodo then honorably dismissed Arcandra.
