JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto emphasized the commitment of the central government to take firm action against state officials who are unable to carry out their duties and are involved in corrupt practices. The government, said Prabowo, will not hesitate to remove or dismiss officials who are judged to have failed to carry out the people's trust.

The confirmation was conveyed by Prabowo when giving directions to the governors, mayors, and regents in the Papua region, as well as the Executive Committee for the Acceleration of the Development of Special Autonomy in Papua at the Presidential Palace, Jakarta, Tuesday, December 16. The event was also attended by ministers and heads of agencies in the Red and White Cabinet.

"The central government is working hard. We continue to carry out law enforcement efforts, investigate all irregularities, and we will not hesitate to remove, dismiss officials who are incapable," said Prabowo.

The President emphasized that this firm step would be taken without considering the political background, ethnicity, religion, race, or party affiliation of the officials concerned. According to him, every official must be loyal to carry out their duties as a form of service to the country and the people.

He also invited officials who were unable to carry out their duties to resign from their posts. "Whoever cannot be loyal to the people's duties, we ask them to stop from their positions of service to the country and the people," he said.

Prabowo said that Indonesia has enormous potential and natural wealth. However, the management and supervision of these assets are still considered not optimal. He emphasized that recognition of this condition is not to weaken the spirit, but as an effort to build a common determination so that the government runs more cleanly and effectively.

According to Prabowo, the practice of corruption, embezzlement, abuse of authority, as well as efforts to enrich themselves and groups by utilizing state assets will only aggravate the burden of life for the people. Therefore, the government continues to carry out internal improvements and strengthen law enforcement.

In addition, the government is also focusing on efforts to secure state wealth through the search for state assets and reviewing various regulations that are considered potentially opening a gap for irregularities.

Prabowo emphasized that the government would not hesitate to take any necessary steps to ensure that all state wealth could be utilized to the greatest extent for the benefit of the people, in accordance with the mandate of Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution.

"We are not reluctant to do what is necessary so that all the wealth of the country can be secured and we use it for the benefit of the people," concluded Prabowo.
