REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA - Cabinet Secretary Dipo Alam admitted that President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono planned to reshuffle the current cabinet. The plan will affect some ministers allegedly involved in corruption case.
"For some reasons, some ministers may face either swifting positions or replacement for some allegedly involved in corruption case," Alam said as written in www.setkab.co.id without elaborating.
Currently, Minister of Agriculture Suswono has to deal with Indonesian Corruption Eradication Committee (KPK) as he is the witness in beef import graft case. Alam said Minister of Finance Agus Martowardojo would be replaced by new figure once he was installed as the ne governor of Bank Indonesia.
Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Mari Elka Pangestu also faces possible replacement as she is currently nominated for Director General of World Trade Organization' position.
While Minister of Communication and Information Tifatul Sembiring as a cadre of Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) asked Dipo Alam not to generalize ministers from certain party. When a minister investigated by KPK, it did not mean he was guilty or involved in corruption case, he said.
