Working Cabinet, Work, Work, Work!

President Joko Widodo reshuffled some ministries and formed new ones for his new cabinet. The ministries affected by the reorganization are Public Works, Public Housing, Tourism, Education, Forestry and Environment. Joko also formed a new coordinating ministry: Maritime Affairs.

Due to these changes, Golkar Party Chairman Aburizal Bakrie reminded Joko that the 2015 State Budget does not account for the new organizations, especially the new ministry. According to Aburizal, the 2015 State Budget has already been officially approved and allocated to ministries established during President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's term. "Thus there will be a problem in the usage of funds and in the implementation of his programs," Aburizal said.
