JAKARTA - The Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) gave a value of four to the leadership of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and Vice President Ma'ruf Amin during his year-long government. PKS does not deny that Jokowi and his staff have worked hard, but there are a number of things that keep this government from getting red ponten.

According to PKS, the provision of red ponten was based on several things. Included in the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic which is far from satisfying.

Moreover, currently the number of COVID-19 cases continues to rise but there is no systematic handling to deal with this virus. According to PKS, if only from the beginning of President Jokowi's administration, it was possible that this pandemic could become a foothold for strengthening the national health system because the current health budget was increased and became a priority.

"Unfortunately the Ministry of Health does not take a major role. The quality and quantity of the health center network should be strengthened. The target of one village, one health center is still far from expectations," said DPP PKS chairman Mardani Ali Sera in his statement to reporters, Monday, October 19.

In addition, there is a Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) which Mardani also highlights. Because, this ministry is considered to have lost the opportunity to become the main ministry to become a manager in public discipline in dealing with COVID-19.

Furthermore, this red ponten was given because law enforcement which is now considered to show conditions that are far from public expectations. One of the things he touched on was the role of the KPK, which is now busy warding off a number of issues related to the increase in leadership salaries and plans to provide official cars that contradict the concept of a single salary.

"The fire at the AGO and the handling of the Djoko Candra case which has not uncovered everything is a big record. Not to mention the Omnibus Law scandal that has sparked public reactions to this day," he said.

"Finally, in the economic chapter, the chasm of recession that we are experiencing makes it even more difficult for the community. The plan for a public safety net with social assistance and basic necessities has not been able to maintain the minimum public needs at the lowest level. MSMEs have not received concrete assistance that has been budgeted for. That's why absorption is far from expectations. , "he added.

So that with the existing conditions, PKS then provides value for the first year of the second term of President Jokowi and Vice President Ma'ruf Amin.

"It is true that Pak Jokowi has worked hard. But some ministries have stuttered and lost focus and in general the value obtained is 4 out of 10," he said.

It is known that Jokowi was inaugurated as President of the Republic of Indonesia for the period 2019-2024 on October 20, 2019. This is his second term as head of state.

When addressing the MPR after he was inaugurated, there were at least five achievements that would be carried out maximally by him, namely the development of superior human resources, infrastructure development, simplification of regulations, simplification of regulations, simplification of the bureaucracy, and acceleration of economic transformation.
