JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) did not talk much about the issue of a cabinet reshuffle or reshuffle.

He conveyed this after inaugurating the At-Taufiq Mosque in Lenteng Agung, South Jakarta, Wednesday, June 8.

"Not yet. Not yet," Jokowi told reporters when asked about the reshuffle issue on June 15.

After answering briefly, Jokowi immediately turned his body and headed to the RI-1 car. He made no further statement.

Previously, Minister of State Secretary (Mensesneg) Pratikno had answered the news that the reshuffle would be held on June 15. Pratikno didn't deny it either, but he said that if there was a schedule, it would be leaked little by little.

"What date is it now? Yes, when there is a schedule, let it out a little," said Pratikno.

Meanwhile, regarding this issue, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives from the Gerindra Party faction, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, said that he had not heard of the cabinet reshuffle that President Jokowi would carry out.

The daily chairman of the Gerindra Party also admitted that he did not know which ministry posts would undergo an overhaul. However, he is sure that President Jokowi knows what ministers must be replaced if there is a cabinet reshuffle.

"I don't know what posts need to be reshuffled. But if there were, of course the president would know better which areas should be strengthened, and which areas should be completely replaced," said Dasco at the DPR building, Jakarta, Wednesday, 8 June.
