Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives(DPR), Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, has dismissed rumors of Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani Indrawati's resignation from her post in the Red and White Cabinet.
Dasco, who is also Deputy Chairman of Prabowo’s Gerindra Party, said he had verified the information to the government and ensured that there is no such plan for a Cabinet reshuffle in the near future.
"As far as I know, the meeting (between Prabowo and Sri Mulyani on March 12, 2025) was to break the fast while discussing the current economic situation," Dasco spoke to journalists while visiting the Kramat Jati wholesale vegetable and fruit market in East Jakarta, on Friday, March 14, 2025.
He emphasized that until now there has been no plan for a cabinet reshuffle involving Sri Mulyani, while adding that the meeting between President Prabowo and Sri Mulyani was in a very friendly atmosphere.
"And I have checked with the government, there is no plan for a reshuffle. And as for Sri Mulyani, I also haven't had the chance (to communicate directly)," Dasco said.
He dismissed speculation circulating in the public that Sri Mulyani had tendered her resignation from the post of Minister of Finance. According to him, the issue is baseless and can disrupt the public's focus in carrying out the fasting.
"But if you look at their break-of-the-fast meeting, as friends saw in the media, the two were very friendly. I think the rumor on Sri Mulyani’s resignation is a baseless issue and makes the spirit of fasting slacken," Dasco said.
Sri Mulyani herself did not comment when asked by reporters about her position in the Red-and-White Cabinet.
"Chatting casually and reporting various things," Sri Mulyani wrote in the caption of her Instagram account, uploaded on Wednesday, March 12, 2025.
