JAKARTA - The daily chairman of the Gerindra Party DPP, Sufmi Dasco, said that the elected president Prabowo Subianto is still conducting simulations of the number of ministerial nomenclatures in his upcoming cabinet.
"So this is what is called an addition, which is called separation, and we cannot publish it yet because we are currently still simulating it," Dasco said as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, September 12.
This was conveyed in response to the issue that the number of ministries in the upcoming Prabowo-Gibran government would be increased from 34 ministries to 44 ministries.
"There are those (ministerial) who say 44, some say 42, some say 40, we are also still doing simulations," he said.
Dasco admitted that he could not reveal with certainty the number of ministerial nomenclatures to the public because everything could still change.
He said that his party was likely to only complete the composition of the nomenclature of the ministry a week before the inauguration of the Elected President and Vice President Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka on October 20.
"Maybe the nomenclature or person will only be final h-7 or h-5 times," he said.
Dasco also said that the increase in the number of ministries was carried out to optimize the duties of the ministry in order to fulfill the Prabowo-Gibran campaign promise that was carried out in the eight Asta Cita missions he carried out.
However, he mentioned that the composition of the upcoming cabinet of ministers is likely to be more professional than political parties.
"We will then fulfill campaign promises of course also see the right places and people so that the presence of these professionals is also more visible than later from political parties," he said.
Earlier on Monday (9/9), the Legislation Body (Baleg) of the DPR approved that the State Ministry Bill be brought to a plenary meeting to be ratified into law.
A number of changes in the bill include insertion of the article, namely Article 6A concerning the formation of its own ministry, then inserted Article 9A regarding the president who can change organizational elements according to the needs of government administration.
Furthermore, one of the important points in the bill is the amendment to Article 15.
With this amendment to the article, the president can now determine the number of ministries in accordance with the needs of state administration, not limited to only 34 ministries such as the provisions in the law that have not been changed.
