Jokowi Will Inaugurate Minister Of Education And Culture, Research And Technology Nadiem And Bahlil As Minister Of Investment Tomorrow

JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) is carrying out a cabinet reshuffle on Wednesday, April 28 tomorrow. Jokowi is reportedly going to inaugurate the Minister of Education and Culture and Technology Research and the Minister of Investment.

Based on sources from the palace circle, Jokowi will inaugurate Bahlil Lahadalia as Minister of Investment. Bahlil previously served as the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM). Meanwhile, Nadiem will certainly serve as the Minister of Education and Culture-Research and Technology.

"Yes (it will be announced tomorrow, red)," said the VOI source when contacted, Tuesday, April 27.

As previously reported, the Chief Expert of the Presidential Staff Office (KSP), Ali Mochtar Ngabalin, again said that President Jokowi will announce a cabinet reshuffle soon.

"I always say it's not long, because Mr. Joko Widodo's leadership character in responding to this is always fast, and thank God it's right," said Ngabalin, Tuesday, April 27.

Again, according to him, there will be a new minister who will be appointed by President Jokowi. However, he did not yet know the name of the ministerial candidate.

He only revealed that the reshuffle announcement would be made if the nomenclature for merging new ministries had been completed. He said the DPR had sent a letter regarding the merger of the Ministry of Education and Culture and Research and Technology as well as the establishment of the investment ministry to the government from last week.

"We will discuss these two points. The President will definitely appoint a minister, because the nomenclature has changed, so that there will be ministers who will be inaugurated, namely education and culture and technology," he said.

"Likewise, there is a new minister who is inaugurated, his name is the investment minister, maybe also the Head of the National Research Agency," continued Ngabalin.

The DPR previously submitted a letter of approval for the merger of the Ministry of Education and Culture (Kemendikbud) with the Ministry of Research and Technology (Kemenristek), as well as the formation of the Ministry of Investment to the government.
