An Indonesian official declined to comment on news reports that President Prabowo Subianto is preparing another cabinet reshuffle that may include Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati, saying only it was his right to do so if he chooses.

“We don’t have any response to that — but just to remind, it’s the prerogative right of the president,” spokesperson for the Presidential Communications Office, Philips J. Vermonte, told reporters during a briefing on Thursday when asked about the rumors.
