P
resident Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo has installed Golkar Party politician Nusron Wahid as the new head of the Agency of Placement and Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers (BNP2TKI), replacing Gatot Abdullah Mansyur.
Nusron, who is also head of Nahdlatul Ulama's youth wing's GP Ansor and a lawmaker, was among the Golkar politicians who went against the party's instructions to support Prabowo Subianto during the presidential election and gave their support to the Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo and Jusuf Kallar ticket instead.
'Nusron worked very hard for Jokowi's victory. Besides, he has also been known to have huge concerns about Indonesian migrant workers,' cabinet secretary Andi Widjajanto said Thursday as quoted by kompas.com.
Besides Nusron, Jokowi has also installed Franky Sibarani as the new head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) and former Gadjah Mada University's rector Sofyan Effendi as head of State Civil Apparatus Committee (ASN), a new committee that has been mulled by the previous administration under Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.(dic)(+++)
