jpnn.comJAKARTA – The Head of the PDI Perjuangan DPP for Executive Election Winning, Deddy Yevri Sitorus, admitted that he had heard rumors about efforts to oust the cadres of the political party with the white-nosed bull symbol in the cabinet during the era of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi).
“So our attitude is to just listen and wait and don’t want to interfere in the problem,” said Deddy to the media, Tuesday (13/8).
PDI Perjuangan, he said, understands and accepts that the matter of appointing or dismissing ministers is the prerogative of the President of the Republic of Indonesia.
“So, we are not in a position to accept or reject, only referring to the existing constitution. If PDI Perjuangan cadres want to be replaced, that is up to and at the President’s discretion,” Deddy continued.
He also said that the PDI Perjuangan welcomes Jokowi to replace the non-party professional ministers proposed by the political party with the white-nosed bull symbol.
It is known that the PDI Perjuangan proposed Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani, Minister of Foreign Affairs Retno Marsudi, Minister of Public Works and Public Housing Basuki Hadimuljono, Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi, and Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Arifin Tasrif.
“That is also up to the President,” said Deddy.
He said that PDI Perjuangan has been politically committed from the start to oversee the government until the end of the period.
PDI DPP Chairman Deddy Yevri Sitorus said that his party would accept it if the cadres of the political party with the white-nosed bull symbol were affected by the Jokowi-era government reshuffle.
