Jakarta (Antara Bali)- President Joko Widodo has appointed Willem Rampangilei as new chief of the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) to replace Syamsul Maarif.
"Mr Willem will be installed as the new BNPB chief," Minister/State Secretary Pratikno noted at the presidential palace complex, here, Monday.
Rampangilei is one of the deputies of the Coordinating Minister for Empowerment of Women and Culture. He is in charge of environmental affairs and social insecurity coordination.
Pratikno remarked that Maarif was relieved of his responsibilities as he had been holding the post since a long time, while Rampangilei was appointed due to his competency and experience.
"It is just a routine rotation and normal because Mr Syamsul has been the BNPB chief for a long time," the minister clarified.
