REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- The announcement of cabinet lineup will take place at the State Palace, according to Vice President Jusuf Kalla.

"It will be announced at the State Palace," Kalla said the Vice Presidential Palace on Wednesday (22/10).

The vice president asked all parties to remain patient concerning the exact time of the announcement.

"We will announce the cabinet lineup but all parties must be patient because we have to be careful in selecting the cabinet ministers," Kalla remarked.

Earlier, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) said the cabinet lineup could be announced on Wednesday, either in the morning or evening, but he did not confirm about the location where he would make the announcement, whether at the State Palace or other venues, such as at the Pluit Reservoir in North Jakarta, Tanjung Priok Port in North Jakarta, or at the Tanah Abang wholesale market in Central Jakarta.

President Jokowi involved the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (PPATK) to scrutinize the track records of his ministerial candidates.

When separately interviewed, the Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) praised the involvement of the KPK and PPATK in the evaluation process as a positive decision taken by Jokowi.
