JAKARTA - Golkar Party politician Andi Harianto Sinulingga considers Nadiem Makarim to be mis-addressed as Minister of Education and Culture (Mendikbud) by President Joko Widodo.
According to him, Nadiem does not have the capability and capacity to manage education issues, but is more competent in the field of digital technology development.
"Nadiem is a smart man, he's the founder of Gojek, a creative child, but he's not exactly put there (Mendikbud, red). Because technology is an educational tool," andi said in a virtual discussion 'Evaluation of Cabinet and Political Map 2024', Saturday, April 10.
The former Chairman of the Golkar Party DPP assessed, choosing a minister is not just seen from the weight and capacity of the field studied. However, he said, it is also a concern to look at his political background.
Not only Nadiem, Andi argues, many jokowi ministers do not have the capacity. Therefore, according to him, the placement of ministers in the second period of President Jokowi is now a serious issue.
In fact, said Andi, it becomes a question also whether the appointment of Jokowi's origin to choose a minister is an experiment that is deliberately made for certain interests.
"These experiments like this do Mr. Jokowi want his gimmick, or maybe want the substance? But there is a political smell too," said Andi Sinulingga.
