TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – President Joko Widodo, aka Jokowi, appointed Sakti Wahyu Trenggono as Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, replacing Edhy Prabowo. Previously, Trenggono was deputy defense minister.
Trenggono stated that during his one-year tenure as Deputy Defense Minister, he had sought synergy and development of defense for the future. But now that task has changed. Trenggono was asked to manage maritime potential in his second year on the cabinet.
“I have gifted myself since I became a Wamenhan, I donated myself for the nation and I worked hard for the nation,” Trenggono said in a quote from the Presidential Secretariat YouTube video on Tuesday, December 22, 2020.
When he lined up for the post of KKP minister, Trenggono admitted he was dismayed. However, he said he would carry out the president’s mandate to optimally manage the marine and fisheries sector.
He also said that this new mandate was not an easy task. Still, he promised that he would continue to study and evaluate previous policies so that future KKP programs benefit the well-being of the community.
“The potential is so abundant, the fish in the oceans are abundant. Marine potential for both the tourism sector and the culture (explored). That is what we will do,” he said.
