TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Raja Juli Antoni was appointed and inaugurated as the new Deputy Minister of Agrarian and Spatial Planning earlier today, June 15. The secretary of the Indonesian Solidarity Party's (PSI) Board of Trustees said that President Joko Widodo, or Jokowi, has given him several assignments, including resolving agrarian conflicts.

Juli said he was also assigned to simplify the process of community land titling, combat land mafia practices, and curb the sectoral egos between institutions.
In addition to Raja Juli, today the president inaugurated two other new deputy ministers: John Wempi Watipo as Deputy Minister of Home Affairs, and Afriansyah Noor as Deputy Minister of Manpower.
