Fahri Hamzah (born 10 November 1971) is an Indonesian politician and former deputy speaker of the Indonesia House of Representatives.
[1] In his first term, he admitted to receiving non-budgetary benefits from then-Minister of Fishery Rokhmin Dahuri, which resulted in his being reprimanded by the body's ethical council (Dewan Kehormatan) and was barred from holding a position until 2009.
[6] On 11 March 2016, he was dismissed from the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) for making several seemingly controversial, counter-productive and improper statements (a little bit stupid [sic]).
[7] In accordance, his former party proposed for another member of the parliament Ledia Hanifa Amaliah to replace him as Deputy Speaker.
[9] Following the dismissal, he sued his former party, winning up to the level of the Supreme Court which awarded him Rp 30 billion in damages (US$2.1 million).
