Minister Of State Secretary: No Minister Submitted Resignation Letter

JAKARTA - Minister of State Secretary Pratikno said that until now there has been no minister in the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet to submit a letter of resignation through the Ministry of State Secretariat.

This was conveyed by the Minister of State Secretary Pratikno in response to reporters' questions about Hotman Paris Hutapea's lawyer's statement, which was uploaded through the Instagram social media account @hotmanparisofficial, which raised the issue that the minister would resign this Friday.

"Nothing," said Pratikno via text message quoted by ANTARA, Friday, February 16.

When asked if there was a possibility of a cabinet reshuffle, Pratikno said that until now there would not be a cabinet minister replaced by President Joko Widodo.

"No minister will be replaced," explained Pratikno.

The news of the resignation of a number of ministers in the cabinet surfaced in the midst of the 2024 presidential election, especially after former Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD officially submitted a letter of resignation to President Jokowi in early February.

However, a number of ministers have stated that the cabinet remains solid.

Mereka di antaranya Menteri Luar Negeri Retno Marsudi, Menteri Pekerjaan Umum dan Perumahan Rakyat Basuki Hadimuljono, serta Menteri Koordinator Bidang Pembangunan Manusia dan Kebudayaan Muhadjir Effendy menyatakan tetap bekerja membantu presiden.
