JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesia's anti-graft agency (KPK) has named the country's former agriculture minister as a suspect in a graft case, its deputy chief said, becoming the sixth member of President Joko Widodo's cabinet to face corruption allegations.

Syahrul Yasin Limpo, who resigned last week after KPK raids on his multiple houses and ministry, said via his lawyer that he will cooperate with the investigation.
