Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam) Mahfud MD admitted that he was not aware of the wild issue that said Finance Minister Sri Mulyani would resign from the cabinet.

"I don't know. I don't know," said Mahfud MD at the Jakarta Presidential Palace as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, January 18.

Mahfud emphasized that he had never spoken about the issue with Sri Mulyani.

Previously, senior economist Faisal Basri in a discussion event in Jakarta recently said Sri Mulyani was the minister who was morally the most prepared to withdraw from the cabinet.

Apart from Sri Mulyani, Faisal also said that the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing Basuki Hadimuljono was ready to resign.

According to Faisal, the minister from the technocrats is ready to resign because of the issue of Presidential support in the presidential election.

Meanwhile, the Special Staff of the Minister of Finance, Yustinus Prastowo, once denied that Sri Mulyani had ever made a statement about her resignation.
