JAKARTA - Minister of Cooperatives Ferry Juliantono responded to public scrutiny regarding a number of locations of the Red and White Village Cooperative or KDMP which were considered not strategic and went viral on social media. He said that input from the public would be the basis for government evaluation.
Ferry said that criticism that appeared on social media did not need to be immediately seen as an attack. According to the Minister of Home Affairs, many residents recorded and disseminated conditions in the field because they wanted to remind the government.
"It's amazing in the era of social media, isn't it. They actually mean well," said Ferry at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, Tuesday, July 7.
Ferry said public input was important to see which parts of the implementation of the KDMP needed to be improved. One of them is related to the location or cooperative building which is considered inappropriate.
"They remind us that there is something that needs to be evaluated," he said.
According to Ferry, the government will take the input into consideration. However, he asked that the issue be viewed proportionally because the viral location or building is said to be only a small part.
"The inputs will certainly be taken into account to see. But it must also be seen," said Ferry.
He said the government would find solutions to the findings in the field, including for the KDMP building which has become a public spotlight.
"Suppose the building, it's only a few and viral, we'll find the solution," he said.
The spotlight on the location of the KDMP is important because the village cooperative program will face the people directly. If the location is difficult to reach or considered inappropriate, the cooperative can lose its basic function as an economic service close to the community.
Ferry has not detailed the form of evaluation that will be carried out by the government. He also has not mentioned the number of KDMP locations that are of concern after going viral on social media.
