Summary

  • President Joko Widodo replaced two ministers and appointed three deputy ministers to the Indonesia Onward Cabinet last week.
  • The original plan was to replace three ministers: the Minister of Trade, the Minister of Agriculture, and the Minister of Defence. However, Jokowi decided to replace the Minister of Trade and the Minister of Agrarian and Spatial Planning.
  • The latest reshuffle gives a signal that the cabinet is no longer focused on managing the government.
