Indonesian president's latest problem: a loose cannon in the cabinet
Wed Sep 9, 2015 4:58pm EDT

By Kanupriya Kapoor and Randy Fabi

JAKARTA (Reuters) - As Indonesian President Joko Widodo was preparing on Wednesday to present a grand package of measures aimed at restoring investors' faith in the competence of his government, one of his ministers stepped in and spoilt it all.

Rizal Ramli, who told Reuters this week that perhaps he is too outspoken, suddenly announced in parliament that fuel pipeline and storage projects worth $7.4 billion had been dropped because they were no longer a priority.

Within hours, the cabinet secretary had contradicted him, reinforcing an impression that Widodo's ministers are out of tune with each other and unable to sound united on policy.
