JAKARTA A political observer from Archy Strategy, Radis Hadi, considers that the revision of the Law on the Ministry of State as a solution to the addition of ministries in the era of Prabowo Subianto's administration is normal.

Moreover, in the revision, the Legislation Body (Baleg) of the DPR decided that the number of ministries was adjusted to the needs of the president.

"This means that additional ministries could be prepared to support the needs in achieving the promised targets during the last campaign," said Radis, Sunday, May 19, 2024.

He stated that the addition of ministries in the Prabowo-Gibran government is legal as long as it can open up the effectiveness of government work later. The most important thing is how Prabowo as president is able to manage the needs of ministries that will be formed to work optimally and not overlap.

"Moreover, budget efficiency needs attention in the midst of many strategic matters that need to be resolved in the previous government," he said.

Radis also did not question the steps taken by the DPR to immediately revise the State Ministry Law. Moreover, the majority of parties in parliament are currently still inhabited by members of the Prabowo coalition. Thus, whatever scenario is expected, it can be executed in parliament.

"Regardless there is a note or not, what needs to be criticized later is whether the ratio of the ministry's number of efficiency is in line with the problems resolved. We'll just have to wait," he said.
