JAKARTA UIN political observer Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, Bakir Ihsan, the controversy over the sea fence in Tangerang Regency has become the way or effort to degrade the image of the 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo (Jokowi).
This is because a number of ministers in the Red and White Cabinet (KMP) seem to associate the existence of a sea fence and problematic certificates in the sea space with Jokowi's era. For example, Coordinating Minister for Regional Infrastructure and Development Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono revealed that the HGB and SHM certificates in the sea fence area were issued by the Ministry of ATR/BPN in 2023 or in the Jokowi era.

According to Bakir, the statements of several ministers at KMP in responding to the maritime fence in Tangerang can be interpreted as an effort to degrade Jokowi's image. Although on the other hand, this could backfire considering that since the beginning of the Prabowo administration stated that it was a continuation of the Jokowi administration.
From the beginning, what the Jokowi-era cabinet had done was also an evaluation agenda by the Red and White Cabinet so that it was not reactive. Because in the end people no longer see the past. However, people see cases emerging at this time emerge in the Prabowo era," he said, Sunday, January 26, 2025.
He revealed that Prabowo's ambivalence can be seen from his staff who are in doubt about the existence of a sea fence in Tangerang waters. Despite the public's discussion, the Prabowo government seemed silent about the owner of the sea fence.
Prabowo has just instructed the dismantling of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) and the Indonesian Navy after the public pressure was getting tougher. So it seems that the Prabowo government is reluctant to be tarnished by the bad legacy of the Jokowi administration era.
"Therefore, in the future, the policy taken by Jokowi should be an evaluation in each ministry to be followed up so that it does not impress any reactive steps. However, it is really an improvement step taken by each ministry," said Bakir.
