Speaking to the press at the presidential palace on July 13, he noted the disbandment aims to lessen the burden on the state budget amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Widodo hoped that a lean organisational structure in the government will help the jobs be done faster.
The President first brought up the matter at a cabinet meeting on June 18. He warned the possibility of a cabinet reshuffle and disbandment of government agencies for their failure in dealing with the pandemic and its economic impacts./.
