INDONESIA'S anti-graft agency, tasked by President Joko Widodo, also known as Jokowi, to assess candidates for his cabinet, said it is investigating several ministers in former leader Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's government and wants the incoming team and their spouses to sign an integrity pact.

Mr Joko, who was inaugurated on Oct 20, dropped eight of his candidates for the cabinet after an earlier screening by the Corruption Eradication Commission and presented new names this week.
