JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto is said to emphasize ministers to make the 1945 Constitution (UUD) a reference in making policies.

This was conveyed by the Minister of Protection for Indonesian Migrant Workers (P2MI) Abdul Kadir Karding. Prabowo emphasized this message when he chaired the Plenary Cabinet Session which was held at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, Monday, May 5.

"There are several important pressures, including, for example, we must use the Basic Law as the basis for our actions," said Karding, quoted on Tuesday, May 6.

In the Plenary Cabinet Session, Prabowo also discussed the targets of all ministries that have not been or have not been achieved.

However, it did not explain in detail what targets had been met, especially at the Ministry of P2MI.

"We can enlighten President Prabowo in many ways, including what has been achieved," he said.

In addition, Karding said President Prabowo emphasized that all ministers could pay attention to the Indonesian people who were still below the poverty line.

"At the same time, seeing that there are still many Indonesian people sleeping in the rectum huts," said Minister Karding.

Therefore, the minister who is often called Mas Karding will take what President Prabowo said as a note to be followed up in the future.

"And that should be the concern of all ministers. That is our record going forward," said Karding.
