In the past two weeks, Teten Masduki was almost never absent from the side of President Joko Widodo. He accompanied Jokowi when he launched the 2 x 1,000 Megawatt power generator project in Batang, Central Java, two weeks ago. Two days later, Teten was with Jokowi to open the President's Cup football tournament in Bali.
In those two weeks, Jokowi never gave any sign he was about to appoint Teten as presidential chief of staff. Only after his swearing in did the President convey his hopes and expectations to Teten, who was once the executive chief of the Indonesian Corruption Watch. "Pak Jokowi wants this office to really become the President's backbone," Teten told Tempo reporters Yandhrie Arvian, Sunudyantoro, Jobpie Sugiharto and Ananda Theresia at Bina Graha, last week.
