JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/ANN): President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo has requested the members of his Cabinet to focus on governmental affairs and send prayers from the capital instead of going to Surakarta, Central Java, to offer condolences over the passing of the Indonesian leader's mother on Wednesday (March 25).

"Based on the president's order, the funeral will be held [within the family] and members of the Indonesian Onward Cabinet and their staffers should remain in Jakarta and focus on their duties," presidential spokesman Fadjroel Rachman said.
