JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo or Jokowi is a capable and complete head of state. In addition to being an expert in providing solutions to the current problems, Jokowi is also an expert in solving problems that will come in the future.
"Pak Jokowi is an expert in solving problems that will come with future solutions," said a short sentence expressed by Muhammad Lutfi, Minister of Trade in the United Indonesia Cabinet II and the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet, to explain Jokowi's figure, quoted Friday, December 1.
Then, Lutfi also explained that in 2045, the cities of Jakarta and the cities of Bandung, West Java will unite into one city. At the time of unification, the population is estimated to reach 75 million people.
"Can you imagine, how severe the pollution is in 2045? What is the garbage like? How to take care of the electricity? So later new people can think about solutions to moving the capital and think about it later, it will become a problem that cannot be solved at that time," said Lutfi.
He also expressed this statement as an answer to media questions about Anies Baswedan's proposal to divide the Nusantara Capital Development (IKN) budget worth IDR 470 trillion in 14 cities in Indonesia each IDR 33 trillion.
Lutfi's answer is simple. "Don't solve future problems, with past solutions. So at this time we have to be clear. Well, Pak Jokowi is an expert in resolving the future with future solutions," said Lutfi.
For example, the problem will come with a future solution, namely the Integrated Moda Raya (MRT). Where before the MRT was sparked as a project to suppress congestion in Jakarta, Jokowi came to Jakarta, around 2012. At that time, the first one to be resolved was the MRT.

"The MRT was also rejected by politicians, because he considered the subsidies too high. But at that time Pak Jokowi also carried out the same thing. He said that the benefits of this MRT were very high. And look, once the first MRT was finished, the second MRT was immediately built. Because people feel that the benefits are very high for the people of Jakarta," said Lutfi.
Indonesia, said Lutfi, needs a figure like Jokowi.
"Indeed, sometimes, Pak Jokowi thinks out of the box. For that I thank Pak Jokowi," he concluded.
