JAKARTA - Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) admires Jokowo's leadership style. He assessed that President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) is an active leader, who wants to go directly to the field.
He conveyed this impression after accompanying President Jokowi for the first time during a working visit to North Sulawesi Province on Friday (23/2), after the inauguration of AHY as Minister of ATR/BPN on February 21.
"If the leader is really active in leading, not only behind the table but also going to the field to conduct inspections, evaluations, as well as show leadership and management at the most strategic level. I think this will move the cabinet ranks and ministries/agencies, including the central (government) to regional areas, "said AHY after meeting the Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia Ma'ruf Amin in Jakarta, Saturday.
The vertical synergy and collaboration, according to him, is the key to a successful government.
Even though he has only been able to do activities with President Jokowi for one day, I can feel firsthand that he wants to make maximum use of his time to touch the community directly," said AHY.
While in North Sulawesi, AHY accompanied Jokowi in the inauguration of the Lolak Dam in Bolaang Mongondow Regency.

According to him, the inauguration was not only a ceremonial agenda, but had a deeper meaning regarding the process from the beginning of planning for dam construction, execution with various problems, until the dam was finally completed after seven to eight years of construction.
"So the inauguration must have a big job. We have to appreciate that," said AHY.
After the inauguration of the dam, AHY also accompanied Jokowi in the inauguration of regional roads, in touch with the community of MSME actors, and checked Bulog's warehouse in Bitung City.
"So quite a lot of activities were carried out during one day's journey in a province, not to mention the previous visit (President Jokowi) in South Sulawesi," AHY said, recounting his first experience accompanying Jokowi in his capacity as one of the ministers of the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet.
