resident Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo swore-in on Thursday Golkar Party politician Nusron Wahid as the Head of the Agency for the Placement and Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers (BNP2TKI).
Nusron was inaugurated together with the new chief of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), Franky Sibarani, in a ceremony at the State Palace.
Nusron replaced outgoing BNP2TKI head Gatot Abdullah Mansyur, while Franky replaced the former deputy chairman of the business lobby group Indonesian Employers Association (Apindo), Mahendra Siregar.
Nusron was one of three Golkar Party politicians stripped of party membership for supporting the presidential bid of Jokowi.
Nusron, together with young turks of the party, Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita and Poempida Hidayatullah, have also been stripped of their posts in key commissions in the House of Representatives.
Nusron has filed a lawsuit against the party's decision. (***)
