Prabowo Is Advised To Consider Implementing Programs In Developing Cabinets

President-elect Prabowo Subianto is advised to consider the implementation of the program in choosing and compiling cabinets in his future government.

Even though zaken is a cabinet, what is prioritized is how the program can run and be achieved. How can the budget be effective and efficient and effective," said Charta Politica Executive Director, Yunarto Wijaya, Sunday, September 22, 2024.

According to him, zaken cabinet which is too accommodative is still considered to make it difficult for Prabowo's government to move forward in realizing the targets and programs campaigned for during the 2024 presidential election.

Therefore, current ministers who come from professional circles, excel and get positive appreciation still deserve to be assistants to the president in the upcoming government. "Names like Basuki Hadimuljono, Sri Mulyani, or Retno Marsudi, I think it is still worth entering the cabinet," added Yunarto.

In addition, if the number of ministries increases, the existing ministry's budget will be reduced because it must be divided into new ministries. This, continued Yunarto, will have an impact on the achievements of the programs promoted by the Prabowo government.

He emphasized that government programs and stability are not always associated with accommodative politics. The reason is, it only requires 50 percent support plus one in the DPR RI. Yunarto gave an example, Barack Obama while serving as US President managed to pass the Obama Care program even though it was only supported by a minority party in parliament.

"If it's just giving away seats, for me who will later become the first victim, Mr. Prabowo himself. It's difficult to then achieve programs, especially populist programs, which we know are quite ambitious if we look at yesterday's campaign period," said Yunarto.
