Economist Didik J. Rachbini Is Favored As Minister Of PAN Party Instead Of Zulkifli Hasan

JAKARTA - It is rumored that President Joko Widodo will hold a cabinet reshuffle in the near future. Many people assume that the cabinet reshuffle this time will not happen on a large scale to accommodate the National Mandate Party (PAN) into the government.

The name of the General Chair of PAN, Zulkifli Hasan, is also widely expected to get a ministerial seat in the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet (Kabinet Indonesia Maju). However, Zulhas's chances are considered small because the former Minister of Forestry under Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) had mediocre performances.

Political communication observer from Esa Unggul University, Jamiluddin Ritonga, believes that senior economist and PAN Party politician Didik J. Rachbini is more competent to be Jokowi's minister than Zulkifli Hasan.

"(Didik) Rachbini from PAN already knows, he is a great economist. If that's what comes in, I'm optimistic about this cabinet", Jamiluddin told VOI, Sunday, September 12.

According to him, Zulkifli Hasan is less than a potential figure in PAN other than as general chairman. So, according to him, the criteria for extraordinary ministers that President Jokowi wants are not attached to the former chairman of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR).

"Yes, but for Zulkifli Hasan, I'm very sorry, his advantage is only the general chairman. Because that's a challenge for him", he said.

Meanwhile, a political observer from Al-Azhar University Indonesia, Ujang Komaruddin, believes that Didik J. Rachbini is a PAN cadre who can fill the seat of the minister for the economy. Because he is a businessman and economist reliable.

"He (Didik, ed) is good, good and he is indeed a PAN cadre. He is a reliable economist and a good academic. He has been a member of the House of Representatives (DPR) from PAN as well. But is it recommended from PAN?", said Ujang to VOI, Sunday, September 12.

However, said Ujang, no matter how good the other PAN cadres, the approval and submission of the minister from the party bearing the sun symbol remains in the hands of Zulkifli Hasan as general chairman.

"The most important thing is Zulkifli Hasan's signature", said Ujang.
