Ngabalin Denies Praduga PDIP Regarding Jokowi Deliberately Busys Himself So As Not To Be Invited To The National Working Meeting, Indeed The Schedule Is Seabrek

JAKARTA - Main Expert Staff of the Presidential Staff Office (KSP) Ali Mochtar Ngabalin denied that President Joko Widodo was busy so that he became the reason for not being invited to the PDI-P National Working Meeting (Rakernas).

Ngabalin said President Joko Widodo did have a "sebrek" schedule, including working visits to a number of regions.

"If I know someone is intercepting me, I can take the President's schedule so that it can be seen that it is a schedule, including those from South Sulawesi, Pontianak, and Aceh," said Ngabalin when met at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta, reported by ANTARA, Friday, May 17.

Ngabalin said the PDI-P has the authority and internal decisions not to invite President Jokowi to the National Working Meeting (Rakernas) V in Jakarta on May 24, 2024.

However, Ngabalin denied that President Jokowi's statement was busy.

He asked other parties not to spread false news, especially when the political situation was calm after the 2024 presidential election and the KPU's decision regarding the pairs of presidential and vice presidential candidates.

"Yes, the name is also the President, the schedule is very tight. If someone offends the President, his name is the President in the open schedule," said Ngabalin.
