"Today's government focus is on handling the pandemic and economic recovery," Faldo told reporters, Wednesday, September 8.

Faldo said, currently the Indonesia Maju Cabinet has worked optimally in overcoming health problems and economic recovery due to the COVID-19 pandemic. "The trend in COVID-19 cases has improved, although we will continue to be vigilant and prepare. This is a priority," he said. He ensured that the ministers in the Jokowi-Ma'ruf government remained solid in bringing Indonesia out of the pandemic situation.

"The government team today has worked very well," said Faldo.

Previously, the General Chairperson of Jokowi Mania Volunteers (Joman) Immanuel Ebenezer said that President Jokowi would soon carry out a cabinet reshuffle or reshuffle in the near future.

According to him, this reshuffle needs to be done so that Jokowi inherits good governance in his second term.

"Information that we received in the near future between September or October there will be a massive reshuffle," said Noel, Tuesday, September 7.

"This reshuffle is also a necessity in the Jokowi government so that the last Jokowi administration leaves a good legacy for his government, which is less than optimal in the second term," he continued.
