Cabinet Reshuffling Necessitated for the Furtherance of Jokowi’s

Liputan6.com, Jakarta - Six months have passed and within this crucial period of time, the ministers of the working cabinet under the government of President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo and Vice President Jusuf Kalla are being thoroughly examined in competence. The monitoring and examination of each minister's ability to reach the government programs goal is deemed crucial in determining the need to reshuffle the cabinet.

It is also necessitated for the better improvement of each Minister in terms of their effectiveness and efficiencies.

Political expert, Emrus Sihombing reminded President Jokowi the need to avoid making any politically-motivated decision which limits his option on choosing other potential ministers to only those in the political parties and professional spheres. Ministerial post is a political post and chosen candidate should be accepted because of their validated capabilities not because of their political background or significance.

President Jokowi has promised the population its 9 'nawacita' programs and he needs ministers that could help him attain these goals.

"Should Jokowi decide to perform a reshuffling of the cabinet, then his options ought to be broadened out beyond mere statesmen and professional. Many political parties have knowledgeable and professional human resources," Emrus remarks in Jakarta, Friday (8/5/2015).

He continued explaining how competent candidates will be able to help Jokowi and his government to pursue their goals and therefore the choosing of future replacement should such reshuffling ambition is put forth, ought to be based on the candidates capabilities not because of their professional or political background.
