JAKARTA - MPR Chairman Bambang Soesatyo or Bamsoet said the number of ministries in the Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka government would increase to 44.

This was conveyed in his remarks when he opened the DPR Leadership Cup Badminton Tournament and MPR at the DPR GOR, Senanyan, Jakarta, Tuesday, September 10. Bamsoet admitted that he heard coffee shop chats regarding the addition of the ministerial nomenclature.

"Later, from 34 (ministerial, red) to 44 (ministerial, red)," said Bamsoet.

"Yes, hopefully, our friends who are today in the DPR have the opportunity to become executives," he continued.

After that, he teased the politician from the National Mandate Party (PAN), Viva Yoga Mauladi. Still from the same conversation, Bamsoet admitted that hearing that Zulkifli Hasan's party would receive five ministerial seats in the Prabowo-Gibran cabinet.

One of the PAN cadres who is widely projected as a minister is Viva Yoga. This is also widely mentioned as a ministerial candidate. Because of the many discussions at coffee shops, PAN received five ministerial seats. So one of them is Mas Viva Yoga," he said.

In addition, Golkar Party politician Nusron Wahid has also been tempted as one of the upcoming ministerial candidates. He even said that this name would occupy the position of minister of manpower even though what he wanted was the minister of transportation.

"Congratulations to Mr. Nusron, the prospective minister of manpower. He should (be, red) the minister of transportation," joked Bamsoet.

Meanwhile, after the event, Bamsoet said that what he conveyed was only a matter of gossip. "Hopefully it's still changing," he said.

However, he did not deny that later the number of ministries would increase. But the exact number doesn't know yet.

"Not certain, not fixed because it is still under discussion," said the Golkar Party politician.

The addition of the ministerial nomenclature is very likely to occur. Discussions on the revision of Law Number 39 of 2008 concerning the Ministry of State have agreed that there are no restrictions on the number of institutions.

Reportedly, Secretary General of the Gerindra Party Ahmad Muzani revealed that a number of parties in the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) Plus began submitting the names of ministers to the ministerial choice to the elected president Prabowo Subianto.

In addition, there are a number of figures who have started to enter the screening and screening to be projected as ministers. Some have even met and discussed directly with Prabowo.

"Some were invited to discuss how to solve the problems and problems faced, how he would do his best," said Muzani at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Monday, September 9.
