Jokowi is annoyed with the minister being considered fair, Secretary General of PDI-P: There are some who are looking for safety Page all

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – Secretary General PDI-P Hasto Kristiyanto considered that President Joko Widodo’s anger at the performance of the ministers delivered at the Cabinet Plenary Session at the State Palace was natural.

Because, he said, from the beginning President Joko Widodo had reminded ministers to be serious in handling the Covid-19 pandemic because it was related to people’s lives.

“That’s why every line of the cabinet should have sense of crisis, dare to take responsibility through a breakthrough policy to help the people. Even with the issuance of the Perppu, there is a forceful matter of urgency, “Hasto said in a written statement on Monday (6/29/2020).

Hasto said, in the critical condition of the Covid-19 pandemic, automatically the coordination function between ministries must be put forward.

He considered, there are cabinet members who tend to look safe, so President Joko Widodo evaluates the performance of ministers.

“There are several parties who tend to look for safety, and do not take the initiative, so it is natural for the President to evaluate the performance of the ministers,” he said.

Hasto said, related to the threat reshuffle cabinet work, the decision is the prerogative of the president as a means of evaluating the performance of ministers.

In addition, he hoped, what was delivered by Jokowi in the Plenary Cabinet Meeting could spur the performance and cohesiveness of the entire work cabinet to seek comprehensive and effective solutions in accelerating national economic growth.

“PDI-P is pushing for ministers to work harder in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. At present, ministers must prioritize actions not discourse. We are waiting for the ministers’ actions to take place through a variety of community programs that are real and have a broad impact on society,” he concluded.

Previous President Joko Widodo conveyed the threat of a cabinet reshuffle in front of his ministers during the Plenary Cabinet Session at the State Palace, Jakarta on June 18, 2020.

This information was only revealed in the video that aired the Presidential Secretariat YouTube account on Sunday (6/28/2020).
