JAKARTA – Cabinet reshuffle is not a new thing in a government that adopts the Presidential principle and it is customary to change ministers in democratic countries, without exception in Indonesia.
In the last few days, there has been news that President Jokowi will again reshuffle the composition of the United Indonesia Cabinet. This reshuffle issue is certainly not the first time this has been heard because last month there was also news that the former Governor of DKI Jakarta would accommodate a party that had just joined the government coalition, namely the National Mandate Party (PAN).
This of course could be realized considering that President Jokowi is a person who "loves" to reorganize his ministers so that the government's performance will be even better and of course for the benefit of the Indonesian nation.
