JAKARTA - Member of the DPR from the PAN faction, Guspardi Gaus, welcomed the cabinet reshuffle carried out by President Joko Widodo if it were to be held today, Wednesday, June 15. He hopes that with the changes, stagnant cabinet members can be moved.

Guspardi ensured that the party bearing the sun symbol is ready to enter the cabinet if President Jokowi is asked and given the mandate.

According to him, there are a number of PAN cadres who have good capacity to enter the ranks of the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet. Starting from the General Chairman of PAN Zulkifli Hasan, Chairman of the Advisory Council of the Hatta Rajasa Party, Chairman of the Honorary Council Sutrisno Bachir, and many other cadres.

"Moreover, Mr. Zulkifli Hasan is very experienced both as the chairman of PAN as well as in the legislative (former MPR Chair) and executive (former Forestry Minister)," said Guspardi to VOI, Wednesday, June 15.

"And the National Mandate Party has indeed been a member of a coalition of political parties (political parties) supporting the government since August 2021," he continued.

For PAN, said Guspardi, it is like running water. He emphasized that PAN always maintains and oversees the government running according to the spirit of reform in the interests of the nation and state.

"PAN is ready to serve under any conditions with any task that is mandated for the benefit of the community, nation and state. That's what the PAN Ketum has always ordered to cadres," said the member of Commission II of the DPR.

Nevertheless, Guspardi left it entirely to President Jokowi to choose a minister who was trusted to carry out his duties in the cabinet.

"We completely leave it to Pak Jokowi, he is the one who determines the prerogative of the president," he said.

According to him, President Jokowi must have taken into account the capabilities of his new assistant candidates. Including, assessing the General Chair of PAN Zulkifli Hasan, who is said to be filling the post of the Ministry of ATR/BPN.

"The minister is an assistant to the president, of course he already knows the capacity of Bang Zul's capabilities. We will leave it to the trustee, Pak Jokowi," he said.
