JAKARTA - Secretary-General of the Golkar Party, Sarmuji responded to President Prabowo Subianto's statement that he would not reshuffle the cabinet amid the issue of reshuffling the ranks of ministers of the Red and White Cabinet. According to him, it takes time for the president to evaluate his ministers, which ones deserve to be reshuffled.

"If today the reshuffle is not carried out, perhaps the President considers his ministers to be still working quite well," said Sarmuji, at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Monday, June 16.

"Or, the President still needs time to evaluate his ministers," he continued.

Sarmuji said that evaluating a ministry's job cannot be done in the short term. "For example, if the program planted trees, planted fruit, of course, the fruit could not be picked within 2-3 months, especially if the fruit was durian fruit," he said.

"For the evaluation, it must also have dimensions, a certain period of time. Maybe, the President still needs time for that. Or the President feels that there is no urgency even if there is a reshuffle, it could be like that," continued Sarmuji.

However, the member of Commission XIII of the DPR said that all authority was returned to President Prabowo.

"In principle, the reshuffle is the absolute authority of the President. Because this is the authority of the President, we'll just have to wait for when the President wants to do that," said Sarmuji.

"Even if you want to do that, when, who is reshuffled, what is the composition like, is there a reshuffle or just a repeat from one ministry to another, only the President knows and only the President has absolute authority," he concluded.
