JAKARTA - Head of the Presidential Communication Office (PCO) Hasan Nasbi said that President Prabowo Subianto assessed that the ranks of the Red and White Cabinet are currently working very solidly and compactly.

This was conveyed by Hasan in response to the emergence of public speculation regarding the possibility of a cabinet reshuffle or reshuffle.

"What the President said today was that he felt the cabinet was very solid, the cabinet was very compact," said Hasan Nasbi when giving a press statement at the PCO Office, Jakarta, Thursday, which was confiscated by Antara.

Hasan conveyed that President Prabowo appreciated the hard work of all cabinet members who were considered to show the collaborative spirit between ministries and institutions.

The President, he said, also expressed his gratitude for the cohesiveness of the team that was considered to work wholeheartedly in completing the task of the government.

"He thanked all members of the cabinet who were deemed to be working very hard, for working wholeheartedly in a solid team, working together between ministries," Hasan said.

"So there is not one ministry working individually, but there is good cooperation between ministries and institutions, and he feels as captain of the team, he feels that the teams are very compact," he added.

Hasan further added that the cabinet reshuffle is President Prabowo's prerogative. Until now, there has been no statement or special signal submitted by the Head of State either in an open or closed meeting related to the reshuffle plan.

Hasan emphasized that speculation about the reshuffle is a natural thing in the public sphere, but the President feels that the cabinet he leads is already very compact and solid.

"The president also said that people outside could speculate there was a reshuffle, but today the President feels that this cabinet is already very solid and works very well," he concluded.

Earlier, in mid-July, the Head of State said a reshuffle could have occurred if the ministers could not act quickly in making major decisions.
