Comments: Kalla insists Puan got Cabinet job on merit

Oct. 28,  Online

Vice President Jusuf Kalla has rebuffed allegations that Indonesian Democratic of Struggle (PDI-P) politician Puan Maharani was appointed as a coordinating minister solely to please her mother, Megawati Soekarnoputri, the party'€™s chief patron.

Your comments:  

The only merit was Megawati promising PDI-P support for a position for her daughter.

Deddy K

Let'€™s hope that President Jokowi does not have to make more compromises and give away more to '€œaccommodate'€ Megawati'€™s people!

Let'€™s hope that when we voted for Pak Jokowi, we got President Jokowi and nothing more!

Pauloh

These days one really doesn'€™t need any professional background to become minister (highly paid at that) just the right '€œpush and pull'€.
