President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) will meet former Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) Syahrul Yasin Limpo (SYL) at the Palace tonight. The meeting was held after SYL submitted his resignation.
“Yes, tonight,” said Jokowi after harvesting rice in Ciasem Village, Subang, as in the video on the Presidential Secretariat’s YouTube account, Sunday (8/10/2023).
However, Jokowi has not been able to convey what will be discussed at the next meeting.
“Yeah, I don’t understand, let’s meet you yet,” said Jokowi.
Jokowi had previously accepted SYL’s resignation from the position of Minister of Agriculture. Jokowi then appointed Head of the Food Agency Arief Prasetyo as Acting Minister of Agriculture.
“The replacement is still Acting, Acting Mr Arief Prasetyo, Head of the Food Agency,” said Jokowi at the Palace, Central Jakarta, Friday (6/10).
Jokowi revealed the reasons for appointing Arief as Acting Minister of Agriculture. He talked about coordination problems.
“So thingumajig Of course, it’s more coordinating, it makes things easier, because usually we Bulog, the Food Agency, the Minister of Agriculture, the Minister of Trade always have to be one. “So just to consolidate to make it easier, that’s all,” he said.
