Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – The cabinet shakeup issue picked up steam again towards the end of the year, after two members of Indonesia’s Maju cabinet got into legal trouble.
President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and Vice President Ma’ruf Amin will even hold a one-on-one meeting this afternoon. A CNBC search of Indonesia with interviews with various sources close to the palace said the shakeup was likely to take place on Wednesday, December 23, 2020.
Looking further, Wednesday seems to have its own meaning for the head of state. Also, Wednesday is Jokowi’s birthday, that is, Wednesday June 21, 1961.
Unusually, Jokowi’s cabinet shakeup is often announced on Wednesday.
Jokowi made the reorganization for the first time on Wednesday, August 12, 2015. At that time, Jokowi changed six positions as state administrators at the same time, among which were strategic positions.
Starting with Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, who was appointed Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs, Rizal Ramli as Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Darmin Nasution as Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs.
A year later, Jokowi reorganized the ranks of his cabinet. The cabinet inauguration procession at that time was held again on July 27, 2016, which is based on the Javanese calendar for Wednesday.
At that time, Jokowi massively reformed their ranks. Based on records CNBC Indonesia, It was decided to replace at least 13 organizer positions.
One of them was when Jokowi called Sri Mulyani, who at the time was serving as Managing Director of the World Bank as Minister of Finance, “home.” Sri Mulyani replaces Bambang Brodjonegoro, who was appointed Head of Bappoco.
In 2018, Jokowi appointed Idrus Marham to replace Khofifah Indar Parawansa, who resigned as Minister of Social Affairs. The appointment was on Wednesday, January 17, 2018.
Several months later, Jokowi again replaced Asman Abnur’s post with Syafruddin as Minister of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform on Wednesday, August 15, 2018.
