Indonesia’s anti-graft agency, tasked by President Joko Widodo to assess candidates for his cabinet, said it is investigating several ministers in former leader Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s government and wants the incoming team to sign an integrity pact.
Widodo, who was inaugurated Oct. 20, dropped eight of his candidates for the cabinet after an earlier screening by the Corruption Eradication Commission and presented new names this week. The agency known as KPK submitted its assessment of the revised list late yesterday, Andi Widjajanto, an adviser to Widodo, told reporters.
