JAKARTA - The Gerindra Party responded to the statement by the Chairman of the DPR RI as well as the Chairperson of the PDIP DPP Puan Maharani who saw the cabinet reshuffle signal in line with the existence of ministries affected by legal issues. The Deputy Chairperson of Gerindra Habiburokhman said that his party did not want to speculate as long as the government's duties were still running. "We actually don't speculate too much. The most important thing is that government tasks can continue to run," said Habiburokhman, Monday, October 2. Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the DPR said that he still saw the development of the legal problem until it was clearly established as a suspect. "We see the development of one or two weeks, because so far the status of the minister is called problematic. Could he be a suspect or just a witness," he said. However, Habiburokhman agreed with Puan that the reshuffle was the prerogative of the president. According to him, the president knows whether a reshuffle is necessary or not. "I agree with Mrs. Puan bring a cabinet reshuffle is the prerogative of the president. In fact, the president who knows in what conditions the reshuffle will be carried out or not," he explained. "If the situation worsens, there is a task implementing mechanism, if you want to use it might be able to maintain stability as well. But everything is back to be a domain, sir president," added the East Jakarta Legislator. Previously, PDIP Chair Puan Maharani talked about the issue of cabinet reshuffle that President Jokowi would do. The DPR then mentioned that there is a ministry that is now dealing with law enforcement officers. However, he did not mention the specifics of the ministry in question.., Seor, Malaysia, Monday, October 2.

Even so, Puan emphasized that the reshuffle of the Advanced Indonesia cabinet is entirely under President Jokowi's authority. "But it is the prerogative of the president, when and of course it is the authority of the president," said Puan
