Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture (Menko PMK) Pratikno explained that the division of offices with the Minister of Community Empowerment (Menko PM) Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin began to be prepared so that the two ministries could immediately carry out their duties optimally.

Pratikno said that his party had started mapping the rooms that would be used by each relevant coordinating ministry together with the Secretary of the Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture.

"There is an addition of the Coordinating Minister, so the PMK building will be used for two Coordinating Ministry. The Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Culture itself and the new Coordinating Ministry, namely the Coordinating Ministry for Community Empowerment. We have discussed with the Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture for which one was prepared for Coordinating Minister Muhaimin Iskandar," said Pratikno in the Presidential Palace area, Tuesday, October 22, which was confiscated by Antara.

According to him, the division of offices between the Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture is not a problem and he is of the opinion that there is no need for a new office construction even though there is a new Coordinating Ministry in the Red and White Cabinet led by President Prabowo Subianto.

In fact, if it can be optimized, the PMK Coordinating Ministry building should be more efficient in using it to provide services to the community.

"In my opinion, we have to make more efficient use of the space, if we can optimize it from what we have, why do we have to make new ones?" said Pratikno.

Meanwhile, Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture Cak Imin separately said that apart from waiting for the division of the office, he was still waiting for the Coordinating Minister for PMK to distribute employees.

Cak Imin admitted that the Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Culture did not need many employees. He is ready to accept no matter how many employees were given by the Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Culture.

"I handed everything over to Sesmenko PMK, he arranged it, we just accept it, it's modest. We don't need a lot of staff," he said.

Previously, on Monday, October 21, President Prabowo Subianto inaugurated Cak Imin as Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture.

After the inauguration, he immediately visited the Office building of the Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Culture, which is located on Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat, Jakarta.

He said he would have an office in the building along with Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture Pratikno, even though they were in the same building, both of them had different focus and duties.
