JAKARTA - The Chief Expert of the Presidential Staff Office (KSP), Ali Mochtar Ngabalin, again said that soon President Jokowi will announce a cabinet reshuffle.

"I always say it's not long, because Mr. Joko Widodo's leadership character in responding to this is always fast, and thank God it's right," said Ngabalin, Tuesday, April 27.

Again, according to him, there will be a new minister who will be appointed by President Jokowi. However, he did not yet know the name of the ministerial candidate.

He only revealed that the reshuffle announcement would be made if the nomenclature for merging new ministries had been completed. He said the DPR had sent a letter regarding the merger of the Ministry of Education and Culture and Research and Technology as well as the establishment of the investment ministry to the government from last week.

"We will discuss these two points. The President will definitely appoint a minister, because the nomenclature has changed, so that there will be ministers who will be inaugurated, namely education and culture and technology," he said.

"Likewise, there is a new minister who is inaugurated, his name is the investment minister, maybe also the Head of the National Research Agency," continued Ngabalin.

However, he also did not know the exact time of the reshuffle announcement. Is it Wednesday tomorrow or some other day.

"I don't know yet, but God willing, it will not take long because it is adjusted to the President's schedule," said Ngabalin.

It is known, the Indonesian Parliament has submitted a letter of approval for the merger of the Ministry of Education and Culture (Kemendikbud) with the Ministry of Research and Technology (Kemenristek), as well as the establishment of the Ministry of Investment to the government.

Previously, Ngabalin also informed that President Jokowi would inaugurate a new minister on Wednesday, April 21. However, until today the reshuffle has not been carried out.
