Reshuffle Issues In Jokowi's Cabinet, House Of Representatives Commission IV: Concerning Food Must Be Evaluated

JAKARTA - Member of Commission IV of the DPR Daniel Johan responded to the issue of a cabinet reshuffle which was rumored to be held by President Joko Widodo on Wednesday, June 15, 2022.

According to him, the decision to reshuffle the cabinet is the prerogative of the president. He also asked the public to wait for an official announcement from the head of state.

"We'll just have to wait, (the reshuffle) is completely the president's decision," Daniel told VOI, Tuesday, June 14.

However, the member of the PKB faction of the DPR assessed that improvements in ministerial posts, especially Commission IV partners such as the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, and the Ministry of Environment and Forestry must continue to be carried out so that their performance gets better.

Daniel also highlighted the Ministries that deal with the lives of many people, especially related to food. According to him, the ministry should really be evaluated.

"All cross-ministerial affairs related to food must continue to evaluate themselves, continue to coordinate with each other to ensure people's food is safe in the midst of an increasingly food-insecure world situation," said the PKB politician.

Asked about the ministry in charge of food, Daniel confirmed that the ministries in question were the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Trade.

"That's right," he said simply.
