JAKARTA - PKB politician Luqman Hakim admitted that he had heard about the possibility of a cabinet reshuffle that would be carried out by President Joko Widodo. He even said that many ministers would be replaced in the upcoming cabinet reshuffle.

"I heard the issue that quite a number of ministers will be replaced in the upcoming reshuffle," Luqman said in his statement, Saturday, December 24.

So far, the member of Commission VIII of the DPR has seen that Jokowi often gives signals that his cabinet will reshuffle. Although often cabinet reshuffles are also not implemented.

"Cabinet reshuffle, as a public issue has recently emerged. But I see, President Jokowi has indeed given signals or symbolic codes that he will reshuffle the cabinet," said Luqman.

However, Luqman welcomed the possibility of a cabinet reshuffle opened by President Jokowi. According to him, the change of ministers is solely to improve the performance of the Jokowi-Maruf government, not other political interests.

"Yes, I believe that President Jokowi will reshuffle the cabinet. The main consideration is of course improving cabinet performance, not others," said Luqman.
