JAKARTA - Member of Commission II of the Indonesian House of Representatives Ali Ahmad appreciated President Prabowo Subianto's firmness in replacing ministers who could not work properly. According to him, this reshuffle threat should be a momentum for the ministers of the Red and White Cabinet to try to improve their performance.

Ali assessed that Prabowo's statement delivered after attending the peak of the 102nd NU Birthday celebration at Istora Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday, February 5, that night was very clear and did not need interpretation. Prabowo, he said, clearly would not hesitate to replace officials who do not really serve the people.

"Mr. Prabowo's work orientation is very clear, namely working for the benefit of the nation and the people," said Ali, Thursday, February 6.

The PKB legislator from the East Java electoral district stated that the people want the government to work well, be clean and free from corruption and be free from abuse of power. President Prabowo, according to him, is working hard to fulfill the wishes of the Indonesian people because he does not want to disappoint the people who have given the mandate as president.

"President Prabowo works sincerely for the people and does not want to disappoint the people. As Gus Dur said, Pak Prabowo is a sincere person," he said.

Therefore, Ali considered that the ministers must work well solely for the benefit of the people, not for personal and group interests. All ministers, said Ali, must support President Prabowo to carry out his work programs.

"Of course, Prabowo has a record of who ministers do not work, ministers who work moderately, and ministers who work well. Within 100 working days, the performance of the ministers can be seen and measured," he said.

Regarding the reshuffle discourse, Gus Ali said that the cabinet reshuffle was the prerogative of the president. Prabowo has full authority to replace his assistants who are considered to have poor performance.

"Regarding the reshuffle, we leave it entirely to President Prabowo. Of course, the ministers must try to improve their performance," he concluded
