President Joko Widodo claimed to have called the Chairman of the Crescent Star Party (PBB) Yusril Ihza Mahendra before reshuffle cabinet.
This was conveyed by the Secretary General of the United Nations Afriansyah Noor who has been appointed as Deputy Minister of Manpower (Wamenaker). Jokowi and Yusril are said to be talking about a cabinet reshuffle.
“Pak Yusril was contacted by the President last night, then Mr. Yusril called me and said, ‘Fer, I have sent you from the United Nations to become deputy minister of the Ministry of Manpower,'” Afriansyah said at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta, Wednesday (15/6).
Afriansyah said he would immediately work at the Ministry of Manpower. He will try to help the Minister of Manpower Ida Fauziyah.
He thought that it would not be difficult to work with Ida. Afriansyah said he has the same background as Ida, namely a politician from an Islamic party.
“Ida herself is from the National Awakening Party, she hopes to run the organization together for Indonesia,” he said.
