JAKARTA - The chairman of the PDI-P (PDIP) DPP Djarot Saiful Hidayat again touched on the performance of a number of ministers from the NasDem Party, one of which was the Minister of Agriculture Syahrul Yasin Limpo. He said there are a number of programs that must be highlighted, including the failure of the food estate. Djarot said the food estate failure was discovered when he and Commission IV of the Indonesian House of Representatives in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture came directly. The former Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta admitted that he had seen the conditions firsthand. "Regarding food estate, the results of our review, I went to several food estates, some of which failed. This is the responsibility of the Ministry of Agriculture," Djarot told reporters at the PDIP DPP Office, Jalan Diponegoro, Central Jakarta, Tuesday, January 3. Djarot understands that food estate is not only the responsibility of the Ministry of Agriculture. However, he assessed that the Minister of Agriculture should pay full attention to the government program. Not only that, Djarot also mentioned imported rice. "Just arrived from outside 500 thousand tons, even though the principle is that Pak Jokowi wants to build food sovereignty," he said. With these various conditions, Djarot assessed that the evaluation of the Minister of Agriculture must be carried out and NasDem must be relieved. "Let's together oversee Pak Jokowi's government policy, which in less than two years can be maximized," he said. "And all ministers can be focused on being able to help President Jokowi in order to complete various kinds of national strategic programs," he continued. Previously, Djarot had mentioned that there were a number of ministers who deserved to be evaluated. After that, the issue of a reshuffle or cabinet reshuffle was heard. Meanwhile, regarding this issue, President Jokowi did not say much. He only admitted that he heard that the cabinet reshuffle had been discussed recently. "Yes, I heard," said Jokowi at Manggarai Station, South Jakarta, Monday, December 26. Meanwhile, when he was asked about his lattice, Jokowi only briefly spoke. "The clue, yes, that's it," he said hanging.
