New Cabinet of Indonesia (2014-2019): Meet Joko Widodo’s Ministers
After a week of speculation, Indonesian President Joko Widodo presented the composition of his working cabinet on Sunday afternoon (26/10). The final composition took some time as 8 of Widodo’s ministerial candidates failed to pass the screening of the country’s Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK). Although Widodo was not forced to have his candidates screened by these two institutions, he wanted to make sure that they have clean records in terms of corruption.
Widodo, who is popularly known as Jokowi, was inaugurated as Indonesia’s seventh president on Monday (20/10). He will lead his cabinet, consisting of 34 ministries, in the period 2014-2019.
On Monday (27/10), Jokowi’s cabinet is expected to be officially inaugurated.
