Former president Joko Widodo (Jokowi) should have shown his certificate to the public. End of story.

However, he didn't. He told the public he would only present the document to the court. Since 2016, there have been successive court cases regarding his alleged fake ijazah (certificate), but he has never produced the original in court.
