TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo is set to inaugurate Admiral Yudo Margono as the Commander of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) on Monday at the State Palace. Margono will replace General Andika Perkasa who has entered retirement. 

The State Palace deputy of protocol, press, and media Bey Machmudin in a text message to journalists on December 18 confirmed the inauguration will take place today.

Margono had already gone through a fit-and-proper test conducted by Commission I (defense commission) House of Representatives (DPR) on December 2 through a forum agreement without a voting process.

The decision was announced by House defense speaker Meutya Viada Hafid on December 2 and was officially appointed in a House plenary on December 13.

In explaining his views before a number of House legislators, Yudo Margono pledged to keep soldiers in check amid public discourse on the arrogance shown by a minority of TNI soldiers. He also promised to use a more humane approach to overcome issues that arise in Papua. 

“I explained that TNI must remain assertive yet humanistic,” said Yudo at the DPR headquarters on December 2.
