JAKARTA - The chairman of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) DPP, Mardani Ali Sera, highlighted the absence of Vice President Ma'ruf Amin in the cabinet reshuffle which was held on Wednesday 15 June.

He also questioned President Joko Widodo's upload that did not include his representatives in the inauguration of new ministers for the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet.

Although the vice president is known to be in Jambi, according to Mardani, the atmosphere of the inauguration will look beautiful when Ma'ruf remains in contact virtually.

Moreover, Kiai Ma'ruf played a role in Jokowi's memories in the last 2019 election.

"If there is a need for a video call for us to respect the vice president, upload it, we really appreciate the parents because the vice president really worked hard for Jokowi's victory," said Mardani during a discussion held in Jakarta, Saturday, June 18.

Mardani understands that a cabinet reshuffle is the prerogative of the president. He hopes that the reshuffle can be felt in the next two weeks. For example, the price of basic commodities will decrease and the land mafia can be eradicated. If it's still the same, then it's not the minister who is replaced, but the president.

"If it is a fact that the price does not go down, the land mafia business is not finished, it's just changing people so that later it will happen like a football game where the players change, not the coach," he explained.

Mardani considered that after this cabinet reshuffle, the president must demonstrate good leadership qualities. He hopes that the president can be firm in ending the issue of postponing the 2024 election and the issue of extending his office to three terms.

"All that remains is for him to truly give the legacy of a more prosperous, fairer, more peaceful and more democratic Indonesia," he concluded.
