Monday, 10 Feb 2025

The Minister of State Secretary, Prasetyo Hadi, has stated that there are currently no plans for a cabinet reshuffle within the Red and White Cabinet led by President Prabowo Subianto.

"What reshuffle? There is no reshuffle, not yet," Prasetyo remarked when questioned about the cabinet reshuffle rumors at the Parliament Complex in Jakarta on Thursday.

Prasetyo was visiting the parliament in connection with the anniversary celebration of the Gerindra Party held at the legislative building. When further pressed on the matter, he denied the rumors and emphasized that the government is focused on its work.

"Not yet, we are working, we are working," he stated.

Regarding the reshuffle rumors, President Prabowo Subianto had previously warned that he would replace ministers and heads of government agencies if they do not perform their duties properly.

"The people demand a clean and proper government that works effectively. Therefore, I intend to uphold that. The interests are solely for the nation and the people; there are no other interests. Those who do not work sincerely for the people will be removed," President Prabowo responded to reporters' inquiries about the Red and White Cabinet reshuffle after attending the 102nd anniversary celebration of Nahdlatul Ulama in Jakarta on Wednesday.

During his speech at the anniversary event, the President reiterated that he would not tolerate officials who do not take their responsibilities seriously.

"We will not hesitate to take action. Within the first 100 days, I have issued warnings multiple times. Now, those who are stubborn, those who do not align with the major demands for a clean government, I will take action against them!" the President declared.
