JAKARTA: The House of Representatives and the administration of President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo have agreed to remove a legal limit on the number of ministries a president may have, a change that would allow president-elect Prabowo Subianto to expand his cabinet once he takes office next month.
In a series of back-to-back meetings on Monday (Sept 8), members of the House Legislation Body (Baleg) and representatives of the outgoing Jokowi administration rushed to revise the 2008 Ministry Law, which limits the number of ministries to 34.
