JAKARTA - Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan denied the assumption that President Prabowo Subianto reprimanded the TNI Commander General Agus Subiyanto for mutating Lt. Gen. Kunto Arief Wibowo, the son of the 6th Vice President Try Sutrisno.

Luhut did not agree with the assumption that the mutation of the latest high-ranking TNI officer was political, especially when it was related to Try Sutrisno's attitude towards the proposed impeachment of Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

"Nothing, I know that," said Luhut in response to a question when met at the Presidential Palace, Jakarta, Monday, May 5.

Luhut explained that the mutation policy which was later revised by the TNI Commander was common.

"There is no such thing (political element, ed.). (Revision) it could happen. There's nothing strange about it," continued Luhut.

Regarding the proposal submitted by the Retired Forum for TNI Soldiers, Luhut reminded retired residents to keep the situation conducive.

"We have to be united. Just like now. This is the world's situation, it's noisy," said Luhut Binsar.

"We have to focus on how to support the government well," Luhut continued.

A number of retired officers who are members of the Retired Forum for TNI Soldiers issued eight points of attitude for President Prabowo Subianto's administration. The eight statements of this attitude include supporting Asta Cita Presiden Prabowo except for IKN development, and there is also a proposal to change Vice President Gibran to the MPR.

The statement of attitude was signed by a number of retired officers, including TNI General (Ret.) Fachrul Razi, TNI General (Ret.) Tyasno Soedarto, TNI Admiral (Ret.) Slamet Soebijanto, TNI Marshal (Ret.) Hanafie Asnan, and there is also TNI (Ret.) General Try Sutrisno.

A few days after the statement of attitude, TNI Commander General Agus Subiyanto issued a decree numbered Kep/554/IV/2025 which transferred TNI Lt. Gen. Kunto Arief Wibowo from the position of Pangkogabwilhan I to the Army Chief of Staff Special Staff on April 29, 2025. Lt. Gen. Kunto is Try Sutrisno's son.

However, the decision was later disallowed the day after April 30, 2025, as stipulated by the Decree (SK) of the TNI Commander Number Kep/554.a/IV/2025. In the latest decree, the TNI Commander again assigned Lt. Gen. Kunto as Pangkogabwilhan I.
