Hadi made this statement in response to the increasingly prominent rumors of a reshuffle of the Red and White Cabinet, after attending a press conference at Wisma Danantara Indonesia in Jakarta on Friday.
He also acknowledged that the rumors circulating about changes in the composition of ministers and deputy ministers are inevitable.
"We must understand that the cabinet is the president's prerogative, and President Prabowo conducts evaluations every day," Hadi remarked.
He then explained that in carrying out state programs and duties, the president must conduct assessments and evaluations.
According to him, President Prabowo will take necessary action only when adjustments are needed.
"If the President, for example, feels the need to make improvements or make changes, that is entirely up to him. Because he is the one who monitors the daily performance of all his aides in the cabinet," Hadi emphasized.
Previously, the minister said that there has been no discussion of a reshuffle of the Red and White Cabinet.
He stated this ahead of the inauguration of members of the National Energy Council (DEN) at the Presidential Palace complex in Jakarta on Wednesday (January 28), responding to questions regarding cabinet dynamics, including the issue of filling several cabinet positions.
"Nothing," he said in response to questions from the Presidential Palace media crew regarding circulating information regarding a cabinet reshuffle.
He emphasized there has been no reshuffle in the sense of a cabinet reshuffle. The only changes so far relate to the reassignment of Deputy Minister of Finance Thomas Djiwandono, who was undergoing the process of becoming Deputy Governor of Bank Indonesia.
The last reshuffle made by Prabowo took place on September 17, 2025, when he inaugurated 11 officials, comprising ministers, deputy ministers, and heads of state institutions, marking the third reshuffle of the Red and White Cabinet.
