JAKARTA The formation of a zaken cabinet is considered to be the key to the success of a new government to advance Indonesia. This is because the zaken cabinet contains experts in their respective fields and is not a representative of certain political parties.

According to researcher from the Political Research Center of the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), Aisah Putri Budiatri, the zaken cabinet is an ideal aspect in the context of placing the right person and in accordance with government needs, not based on pragmatic political interests based solely on political support for political parties.

This choice could be effective in encouraging more productive cabinet work for the public interest. Not only that, the government coalition is also filled by political parties who since the joint election process to nominate one presidential election pair based on the common vision and mission views, or at least have struggled together from the start," he said in a written statement, Sunday, December 24.

He explained that the zaken cabinet would create a healthier climate of democracy. Because the government coalition is not too fat, leaving opposition political groups working as balancing and supervisors of government work.

However, Aisah acknowledged the choice of 'without a ministerial quota' would have consequences for the president and government, where opposition political groups will strengthen. Because the opposition will strengthen, the executive must work optimally for the public interest so that all policy-making and budget-making processes can run effectively and not be hampered in parliament," he added.

He emphasized that the political system without ministerial quota is an ideal position that should run in a democratic system. PDIP is also considered to have a political responsibility to make this happen.

"For PDIP, this may also be a turning point after two terms became the winning party and decided on a major coalition, then at the end of the presidential government period, which he started fighting with other parties in the big coalition of governance which he formed himself in the next presidential election," concluded Aisah.
