Dudung confident KSP will further strengthen support for government's priority programmes

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Head of the Presidential Staff Office (KSP) Dudung Abdurachman is confident that the Presidential Staff Office under his leadership can further strengthen support for the priority programmes of President Prabowo Subianto and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

He requested support from all KSP personnel to carry out their duties in providing information and field data to guide government programmes.

“I also ask for prayers from my KSP colleagues so that we can work together well. We will all pray for Mr Qodari’s success,” Dudung said during the handover ceremony for the Head of the Presidential Staff Office at the Bina Graha Building, Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, on Tuesday.

At the event, former Head of the Presidential Staff Office (KSP) Muhammad Qodari said he was already familiar with Dudung Abdurachman’s track record. Therefore, he expressed optimism that under Dudung’s leadership, the KSP would become even more solid.

“I am confident that with Mr Dudung’s experience, network, and leadership, the KSP will become even more solid. Personally, I believe there is no better successor to the KSP than Professor Dudung Abdurachman,” Qodari said.

Furthermore, Qodari stated that during his nearly seven months in office, the KSP has consistently supported President Prabowo Subianto and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming in managing strategic issues and controlling national priority programmes in line with their assignments.

“This office holds many memories for me and all of us. So even though I was only here for half a year, the memories are plentiful and profound. Here, we have guided the President’s priority programmes,” Qodari remarked.

During his tenure, Qodari said the KSP focused on government priority programmes such as providing perspectives on accelerating the Red White Village Cooperative, electricity energy development, energy self-sufficiency, Free Nutritious Meals (MBG), Garuda School development, and increasing the number of specialist doctors.

It is known that President Prabowo Subianto inaugurated Lieutenant General TNI (Ret.) Dudung Abdurachman as Head of the Presidential Staff Office in an inauguration ceremony held at the State Palace, Jakarta, on Monday (27/4).

The appointment was based on Presidential Decree of the Republic of Indonesia Number 52 P of 2026 regarding the Dismissal and Appointment of the Head of the Presidential Staff Office and Head of the Government Communication Agency.

President Prabowo directly led the oath-taking procession conducted by Dudung and several other officials during the inauguration ceremony.
