TUBAN - President Prabowo Subianto has criticized officials who want to continue to survive even though they have failed to achieve their targets. In the midst of the Simultaneous Corn Harvest in the Second Quarter in Tuban, East Java, Saturday, May 16, 2026, Prabowo emphasized that positions should be measured by work results.
"If it fails, remove it. Simple," said Prabowo.
This statement was made when Prabowo spoke about leadership in government, the police, to organizations. According to him, the success of a team always depends on its leader.
"If the organization is good, it means the leader is good," he said.
Prabowo then gave an example of the football world. If a team continues to lose, the coach and management must be evaluated.
"Don't want to be the captain of the football team, keep losing, want to be extended," he said.
He said the same principle applies in government. Ministers, heads of agencies, to the apparatus must be judged by the actual results in the field.
In his speech, Prabowo alluded to the food self-sufficiency target which he said was achieved faster than expected. Initially, the government set a four-year target. However, the results can be achieved in one year.
"It turns out that I gave a target of four years, one year can," he said.
Prabowo then praised the Minister of Agriculture and the government's food ranks. He even admitted that he had to give a sign of honor because of the achievement.
"If he succeeds again this year, how do I give him another star," he said.
Not only the agricultural sector, Prabowo also touched on the achievements of the National Police in the food program and Free Nutritious Meals or MBG. According to him, the results of work in the field are the main measure in assessing an institution.
"If it is good, we admit it is good," he said.
In the event, Prabowo attended the harvest of corn, the groundbreaking of 10 warehouses for the National Police's food security, and the operational launch of 166 SPPG Polri.
At the end of his speech, Prabowo reiterated that the food agenda requires the work of many parties, including local governments, farmers' groups, extension workers, SOEs, the TNI, and the National Police.
