Jakarta – House deputy speaker and Golkar Party member Priyo Budisantoso has asked President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to discuss any plans for a Cabinet reshuffle with Golkar chairman Aburizal Bakrie.

"It would be highly appreciated if the President would ask our chairman to discuss matters relating to the performances of the ministers from our party," Priyo said Friday as quoted by tribunnews.com.

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has recently been asked to seriously consider replacing several ministers who have been viewed by the public as problematic.

The suggestion came following the announcement of a finding that two ministers, the youth and sports affairs minister and the manpower and transmigration minister, were facing public scrutiny after the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) arrested several officials on graft allegations.

Priyo said it was the right time for the president to "clean up" the mess with a Cabinet reshuffle. "If not now, SBY will lose the momentum to improve [the Cabinet's] performance," he said.
