JOGJAKARTA - Joko Agus Setyono was appointed by President Jokowi as the new Regional Secretary of DKI. The appointment will later make Joko Agus Setyono accompany Acting Governor Heru Budi Hartono. Joko Agus Setyono was appointed by Jokowi where it has been regulated by law that the regional secretary, on the advice of the Governor, is directly appointed by the president.

This appointment was stated in Jokowi's Presidential Decree number 13/TPA of 2023 which was stipulated on February 13, 2023. However, many people have asked who the regional secretary of DKI was because the capital region was under intense scrutiny after Anies Baswedan stepped down. The following is a brief profile of Joko Agus Setyono:

A man named Joko Agus Setyono was born in Kebumen on December 11, 1968. He comes from the village of Sawangan, Kuwarasan, Kebumen, Central Java. He is an alumnus of the Gombong Senior High School class of 1987.

A number of Jokowi's reasons also confirmed that Joko Agus Setyono deserved to be appointed regional secretary. One of them is that Jokowi has known him for a long time and he is a person who can communicate well with anyone.

Previously, Joko Agus Setyono's position was filled by Marullah Matali. But he was removed and promoted. Marullah's new position is Deputy Governor for Culture and Tourism.
