• Dec 01, 2017

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – President Joko Widodo alias Jokowi is currently looking at possible candidates for Director General of Taxes to replace Ken Dwijugiasteadi.

“Director-General of Tax [candidates] will be discussed this noon,” Jokowi said at Kompas 100 CEO Forum on Wednesday.

Ken Dwijugiasteadi currently holds the office of Director General of Tax of the Finance Ministry but will be retiring in December.

Earlier on last week, President Jokowi said that he had not made any decision on the new Director General of Tax. The President said that the issue is being handled by the Finance Minister Sri Mulyani.

“Ask the Finance Minister,” he said.

In the past few days, Robert Pakpahan has been tipped to replace Ken Dwijugiasteadi. Robert currently serves as the Director General of Financing and Risk Management for the Finance Ministry.
