JAKARTA - The Chief Expert of the Presidential Staff Office, Ali Mochtar Ngabalin, announced that President Joko Widodo will soon appoint two new ministers as a result of the approval of the House of Representatives. Namely The Minister of Technology and Minister of Investment.

"President Insya Allah will appoint a new minister (1) Minister of Dikbud / Ristek (2) Minister of Investment / Head of BKPM. Are there other ministers to be appointed, when and who are they? Waallahu'alam bisshowaab is the President's prerogative and let's just wait," Ali Ngabalin wrote on Twitter @AliNgabalinNew, Wednesday, April 15.

Confirmed VOI, Ngabalin confirmed that President Jokowi is ready to replace the 3 ministers. Among them, Minister of Education Nadiem Makarim, Minister of Technology / BRIN Bambang Brodjonegoro and Head of BKPM Bahlil Lahadalia.

Nevertheless, Ngabalin asked the public to wait for president Jokowi's official decision in the near future.

"We wait for these weeks or it could be next week, because usually the president is not slow in making decisions let alone his ministers have said goodbye," he said.

However, when asked the intention of 'saying goodbye' whether his minister was removed by Jokowi and not shifted in the cabinet, Ngabalin did not comment.

Only before, the Minister of Research and Technology / Head of the National Innovation Research Agency (Menristek / BRIN) Bambang Brodjonegoro said goodbye from the ministerial position. He said he was saddened by the policy of smelting into the Ministry of Education and Culture (Kemendikbud).

"Personally I also feel bad, feel sad because arguably I became the last Minister because the ristek is no longer a stand-alone ministry as it used to be," Bambang said in an online discussion of the Habibie Alumni Association program, Sunday, April 11.
