List of ministers with the longest and shortest terms of office in Indonesia
Jakarta (ANTARA) – In the history of Indonesian government, ministerial positions have had interesting dynamics. Many ministers serve for years, but there are also those who only last a short time.
To change ministerial positions, the President of Indonesia does have the right to replace or amend his ministers or do so reshuffle in the cabinet. This is stated in Law Number 39 of 2008 article 18 paragraph (1) which explains that ministries can be changed by the president because basically the president’s duties are assisted by state ministers.
Changes in ministers are usually based on government needs and efforts to improve ministry performance.
