JAKARTA: Newly inaugurated President Prabowo Subianto has sworn in his Red and White Cabinet consisting of more than 100 officials, the largest the country has seen in decades since first President Sukarno formed in 1966 the second Dwikora Cabinet with a line-up of 132 ministers, but which only lasted for a month.
The current greatly expanded cabinet was made possible after the House of Representatives removed the 34-minister limit mandated previously through the 2008 State Ministers Law.
