Jakarta (ANTARA News) - President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on Thursday attended to his duties from his private residence at Puri Cikeas Indah in Bogor, West Java, presidential spokesman Julian Aldrin Pasha said.

Julian said President Yudhoyono was not scheduled to come to the State Palace on Thursday but would perform his official duties from his private home.

"Although he is at his private home, the president continues to work as usual. He is doing several things and will probably summon a number of ministers to Cikeas," Julian said.

Asked which ministers would be summoned by the president, Julian refused to identify them. He was also unable to confirm a suggestion that the ministers would be summoned in relation with the President`s plan to reshuffle his cabinet this month.

Juilian only said the summoning of the ministers to Cikeas was something normal because the head of state frequently did so to discuss certain issues in the government.

"I am sure that the summonses are not related to the cabinet reshuffle," the presidential spokesman said, adding that President Yudhoyono was on Thursday yet to be scheduled to come to the State Palace in Jakarta.

He added that the president would probably come to the palace if there was an urgent agenda, but so far there was no schedule.

When arranging his cabinet lineup in 2009, the president summoned the prospective ministers to his private home in Cikeas Indah to undergo fit and proper test.

The president has confirmed that he would reshuffle his cabinet before October 20, 2011, and to date the head of state has just received suggestion and idea from Vice President Boediono for reshuffle plan.

According to Julian, the president has also received the report from Presidential Working Unit for Development Supervision and Control (UKP4) on the result of ministerial routine evaluation every three months.

But the president to date has yet to summon the related minister in connection with the report from UKP4.
