Indonesia’s new police chief faces a difficult task to balance growing public demands for accountability and independence as the force seeks to repair its image following a series of scandals in recent years.
Even as Suyudi Ario Seto, 53, replaced Listyo Sigit Prabowo on Thursday, the government is weighing recommendations to reform the powerful institution, including changes to its work culture and limits on police officers holding public positions outside the force.
In addition to appointing Suyudi, President Prabowo Subianto also reshuffled his cabinet, announcing sweeping changes to key ministerial and senior government posts, with Listyo heading the Executive Office of the President (KSP).
Parliament approved the appointment of Suyudi, who was sworn in within hours of his parliamentary hearing.
