P
resident Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo has dissolved 10 non-structural institutions as part of his effort to slim down the structure of his administration, according to the Cabinet Secretariat.
The President signed a regulation dissolving the commissions, established during former president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's two terms, on Dec. 4, to make the government work more efficiently.
The 10 bodies include the National Aeronautics and Space Council, the National Book Council, the National Law Commission and the Indonesian Sugar Council.
The tasks of the institutions will be transferred to related ministries, according to Antara news agency.
Under the presidential regulation, the President also revoked the 10 presidential decrees that served as the basis for the establishment of the institutions. (***)
