A week ahead of the first debate in the 2019 Presidential Election, the pair Prabowo Subianto-Sandiaga Uno changed the vision and mission file. The file has just been deposited by Prabowo-Sandiaga on January 9, 2019. The change that is immediately visible on the front cover is the addition of the ‘Indonesia Menang’ tagline. At first the Prabowo-Sandi vision mission consisted of 14 pages including the front cover, now the thickness is 45 pages which is thought to be a reduction in the words in the vision and mission section.
The National Winning Body (BPN) Prabowo Subianto – Sandiaga Uno revealed that the changes in their vision and mission were caused by adjustments to the technocratic 2019-2024 National Medium Term Development Plan (RPJMN) designed by the National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas). In the meeting, Bappenas Minister Bambang Brodjonegoro asked the two success teams (timses) to study the technocratic 2019-2011 RPJMN so as not to make a wrong program. This is to avoid the program being too deviated from the 2019-2024 RPJM that has been made. After that, according to the BPN, the KPU Chairperson Arif Budiman said that the KPU hoped the success team would then adjust its vision and mission. And still may submit revisions no later than a week or a few days before the first debate on January 17, 2018.
BPN Prabowo-Sandi responded seriously to revising the vision and mission adjusted by Bappenas. In addition, additional mission vision also comes from the results of a review of Prabowo-Sandi in the field. However, the document for changing the vision and mission of Prabowo Subianto-Sandiaga Uno was rejected by KPU because it had passed the deadline for revision. The Commissioner of the General Election Commission (KPU), Hasyim Asy’ari explained, the vision-mission manuscript was one of the registration requirements documents for the presidential-vice presidential candidate pair. The document was submitted at the same time as the registrar registered, and the campaign team had been given time to revise it before the campaign period.
The change in vision and mission in the middle of the road shows an ever-changing leadership, following the flow, leadership that is not firm in principle, doubtful. Vision and mission as we know it has been clearly collected during the registration of candidates in the KPU and has become a joint commitment, especially since the campaign period has begun a long time ago. Then now if the change in vision and mission is carried out, then the vision and mission that have been previously conveyed are mere formalities to lure people with promises. Changing the vision and mission is one manifestation of the inclusion of the candidate pairs, both policy inconsistencies, program inconsistencies and perspective inconsistencies related to Indonesia. Ironically again, the unloading of the vision and mission actually seems to trace the vision and mission of candidate pair 01 and also raise what Jokowi-JK has done in the past four years. So unloading actually produces tracing works
Now the people can see the inconsistency of the Prabowo pair – the password is very clearly seen in the campaign period which has only been running for about four months. That’s why let’s move together. This is an election to present the best ideas that touch the hopes of the people themselves, not to make fun of the people with the instability of prospective couples who will win the people later.
