JAKARTa - It seems that President Joko Widodo is in the midst of discussing a reform of the ministers in the Working Cabinet. In fact, it is not just a matter of merging the Ministry of Education and Culture and Research and Technology and the Ministry of Investment, Jokowi is also predicted to accommodate PAN who have joined the government.

"I see the reshuffle there will definitely be elite circulation, where one change will lead to other changes. There is also a chance PAN's entry into the cabinet after Zulkifli Hasan can win the fight from Amien Rais' camp," said UIN political observer Syarif Hidayatullah Gun Gun Heryanto to VOI, written Saturday, April 17th.

According to him, tinkering with Volume II of the Jokowi-Ma'ruf Amin administration could change 4 to 5 ministry posts. First, explained the Ministry of Research and Technology led by Bambang Brodjonegoro. Second, the Ministry of Education and Culture led by Nadiem Makarim.

"Because there are two positions that have changed, it has automatically changed the SOTK (Work Administration System) from him to one ministry," explained Gun Gun.

Third, the Ministry of Investment as the new ministry. Fourth, the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) headed by Bahlil Lahadalia.

"Now BKPM still exists or is integrated with the Ministry of Investment? Fifth, is the circulation in the posts that will be allocated to new accommodation politics, such as the entry of PAN. I don't know which ministry," he continued.

If referring to the previous period, continued Gun Gun, PAN received the allocation of the Ministry of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform (KemenPAN RB). Where today the minister is from the PDIP, namely Tjahjo Kumolo.

"Now, will there be a re-shake in several ministries? I see KemenPAN RB is not a ministry with a large budget. Previously it was also given to PAN because it was deemed not too big according to its composition," said Gun Gun.

"I see that the automatic re-shake scheme has a big chance at several ministry posts if it accommodates PAN, not necessarily KemenPAN RB, but in my opinion there are 1 to 2 names that bounce off the cabinet. When accommodating PAN, the most vulnerable are non-party independent groups," he added. .
