JAKARTA - Special Staff to the Minister of State Secretary (Mensesneg) Faldo Maldini said the issue of cabinet reshuffle or reshuffle usually occurs before Wednesday Pon. But he said ministers were on the right track so the reshuffle would not be implemented.

There is also Wednesday Pound falls on tomorrow, March 23. On this Javanese day, President Jokowi often announces big decisions.

"Regarding the dismantling of the cabinet, political gossip always comes before Pon Wednesday. That's the faith of political people, so it's normal," Faldo said in a written statement to VOI, Tuesday, March 22.

However, Faldo ensured that the team currently working has produced great public satisfaction. Thus, this spirit must be maintained because there will be more work in the future.

"We think that's our goal now. We are on the right path," he stressed.

Faldo also said that a reshuffle was not necessary at this time considering that the current team already had various capabilities to solve the nation's problems. So, the most important thing now is to maintain a quality and solid team.

"We already have everything, so we are waiting for new challenges that are considered important for President Jokowi to respond to. So don't keep imagining sharing political cakes as political players usually believe," he said.

Meanwhile, a VOI source in the government also mentioned the same thing as Faldo regarding the news of the reshuffle in the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet. He denied that Jokowi would do a reshuffle even though it was Wednesday Pon.

"Nothing (reshuffle, red)," said the source.

It is known that the news of the cabinet reshuffle, which will be held on Wednesday Pon, March 23, was mentioned by the chairman of the PPP DPP, Achmad Baidowi. Even so, he said it was the prerogative of the president.

Jokowi, said the man who is familiarly called Awiek, has his own benchmark for when to reshuffle.

"I've only heard about it, but I certainly don't know because it is President Jokowi's prerogative," Awiek told reporters, Tuesday, March 8.
