Text your say: Jokowi'€™s Cabinet

strong>Your comments on the swearing in by President Joko '€œJokowi'€ Widodo of the 34 ministers of his new Cabinet on Monday, which some observers say constituted a compromise between choosing ideal figures and employing realpolitik:

I'€™m disappointed with everyone'€™s insistence on giving the Cabinet some sort of score early on; the new ministers'€™ varying backgrounds and lack of consensus show that this is meaningless anyway.

There is no need to impress the public with names. What one should do instead is impress the public with work and implementation.

Jokowi is the best president Indonesia has ever had. Support him and if some ministers don'€™t perform well, you have the right to complain. Let'€™s support the President and let'€™s make Indonesia a great country, rather than just talking.

Fahe

Jokowi had limited choices. Even though some ministerial posts are fulfilled by seemingly less competent people, they still have chance to prove their capability. This is what politics looks like. Transactionism is always the price of authority.

Now for the most urgent question: how is Jokowi going to fight corruption? This time the whole world will be watching, because he is not from the old political elite, with its vested interests.

It is difficult to expect too much from President Jokowi'€™s Cabinet. However, let us give them the chance to do their best.

Jokowi'€™s maritime vision does not appear to consider the huge ocean energy resources around the Indonesian archipelago either!

Topic of the day

Chaos in the House

A lawmaker from the United Development Party (PPP), which has experienced internal conflict, overturned a table during a House plenary session on Tuesday. The show of outrage was a protest to the plenary chairman'€™s decision on the lineup of the House commissions, which favored rival politicians in the PPP. What do you think?
