Puan and Tedjo are 'Good to Go'

RUMORS of reshuffling the Working Cabinet have grown louder. Even when the reshuffle is the president's prerogative right, Vice President Jusuf Kalla wants Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo to reorganize the formation of his ministers and senior officials. As many as 72.1 percent of respondents in last week's Tempo.co poll also believe this is the right time to reshuffle the cabinet, after only eight months in office.

In another survey conducted at the same time, respondents believe Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture Puan Maharani is the most suitable to be replaced. The reasons given by respondents were similar. Overall they believe Puan was appointed minister at the request of her mother, Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) Chairperson Megawati Soekarnoputri. According to respondents, Jokowi would be perceived as decisive and would lose his image as the 'puppet president' if he has the courage to fire Puan.
