State Palace Denies Rumors of Another Cabinet Reshuffle
Jakarta. The State Palace has denied rumors of another cabinet reshuffle in the new year which would include members of the Gerindra Party, a spokesman said Wednesday (28/12).
“I have yet to hear directly from the president on another [cabinet] reshuffle plan,” Johan said at the Presidential Palace complex in Central Jakarta.
Nevertheless, he reiterated that the reshuffle is part of the president’s prerogative rights.
“Reshuffling the cabinet is entirely the jurisdiction and prerogative rights of President Joko Widodo," he said.
Jokowi has reshuffled his cabinet twice since taking office, once in 2015 and again this year. Most recently, he selected several top figures as ministers: Chief Security Minister Wiranto, Transportation Minister Budi Karya Sumadi, Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati, State Apparatus and Bureaucratic Reforms Minister Asman Abnur and Industry Minister Airlangga Hartarto.
