Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto said that the cabinet reshuffle after the Minister of Communication and Information (Menkominfo) Johnny G. Plate became a suspect was the prerogative of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). All parties are asked to wait.
"Of course this reshuffle is the authority of President Jokowi," Hasto told reporters at the Lemhanas Building, Central Jakarta, Saturday, May 20.
Even so, Hasto emphasized that his party is ready to submit the names of cadres who can occupy the position if requested. "Of course the party has potential cadres to fill the position," he said.
"But we leave it entirely to the decision of the President," continued Hasto.

Hasto believes that Johnny's determination as a suspect is also in accordance with the rules. This was confirmed to have nothing to do with the political conditions ahead of the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres).
"There is no politicization related to this. Corruption is corruption, it cannot be interpreted differently," he said.
Johnny Plate was detained by the AGO for the first 20 days. He is a suspect in alleged corruption in the construction of the 4G BTS tower and supporting infrastructure for BAKTI Kominfo.
After Johnny became a suspect, the position of Minister of Communication and Information is now held by Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD as the executor of the task. Later, it was reported that President Jokowi was looking for the right person to replace the Secretary General of the NasDem Party.
