JAKARTA, KOMPAS — Many are hoping that President Joko Widodo and vice president-elect Ma’ruf Amin would choose a professional figure to be the law and human rights minister in their Cabinet. The figure is expected to have deep understanding of the politics of legislation and be loyal solely to the President.
This is because a public spotlight will be on the position, which will have a crucial role in determining the future deliberations of several bills by the government and the House of Representatives.
