Not Invited To Talk About Cabinet, Cak Imin: We Know Ourselves Let Prabowo Regulate

JAKARTA - PKB Chairman Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin admitted that he had not been invited to talk about the cabinet by the elected President, Prabowo Subianto. According to Cak Imin, the new PKB said it supports the Prabowo-Gibran government and submitted the decision to the General Chairperson of Gerindra.

"Not yet, there is no information on how many cabinets there are, there is no information whatsoever to PKB," said Cak Imin at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday, September 25.

The deputy chairman of the DPR emphasized that morally PKB has an obligation to support the government to run successfully. However, PKB must also respect not to interfere in cabinet affairs because it is not a political party supporting Prabowo running in the 2024 presidential election.

"But morally we also feel that we know ourselves, don't come along. And if necessary, yes, let it be what Pak Prabowo arranges. Maybe PKB supports from outside is also good," said Cak Imin.

Cak Imin emphasized that PKB did not expect anything from Prabowo regarding the quota for ministerial seats in the cabinet. Although usually, PKB always gets a post from the Ministry of Villages.

"PKB does not have moral strength asking or hoping. Anyway, we morally support this government. Already, for PKB it is enough and it is not too important for PKB to be in the cabinet or not in the cabinet," he said.
