Another speculation over a possible cabinet reshuffle has intensified ahead of Indonesia's Independence Day, even as the Presidential Palace has repeatedly denied any potential changes to President Prabowo Subianto’s administration.Talks continued to circulate that Prabowo would conduct another cabinet shake-up sometime in August after the Independence Day celebrations, amid mounting pressure over the government’s flagship programs and growing concerns over the country’s economy in recent months.
State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi has repeatedly played down the speculation, saying that the President continued to evaluate his ministers but that such evaluations did not necessarily lead to changes.
“As of today, there is no plan yet for a reshuffle,” Prasetyo told reporters after a meeting at the Senayan Legislative Complex in Central Jakarta on Monday.
