A few days ago, President Jokowi and Vice President KH. Ma’ruf Amin installed a number of Ministers and Deputy Ministers to assist the government. The performance of a number of ministers certainly needs the support of all parties, including the community, so that development programs can be carried out optimally.
It is indeed not easy to be the leader of a nation, considering that it must be fair and protect people who are millions of times their size. Moreover, with a variety of different thoughts, decorated with pros and cons. Various opinions were scattered asking for attention. Bringing together the steps to move forward is still felt to need struggle. No doubt this has become homework that must be completed soon.
Apart from this, the leader of a country will not be able to walk alone. He said he needed trusted people to help the performance of his government. Which is staying digadang will make the debut of Indonesia Forward will soon come true. Moreover, these ministers have a strong loyalty to President Jokowi. So that this cabinet arrangement would be able to support positive energy growth to develop the country. According to a number of literatures, Jokowi’s chosen minister is not a reckless person. If the term children today is “not tinned!” Some of them even have a series of achievements, even recognized by the international community because they received awards from abroad. One of them is the Minister of the Interior, Tito Karnavian.
Popular while serving as National Police Chief, Tito Karnavian is said to have won several awards from a number of countries. For example, the Commemorative Medal of the Ministry of the Interior of the Russian Federation is famous for its “100 Years of International Police Cooperation”. Namely from the Russian Ambassador Galuzin for the results of strong cooperation between Russian law enforcement agencies with Indonesia.
Not to forget, awards for significant contributions to international police cooperation related to efforts in tackling international crime are also for the successful implementation of the 85th INTERPOL General Session in the City of Bali.
Another award which was also pinned by Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah at Nurul Imam Palace, Bandar Seri Begawan on July 15, 2017, was in the form of the Great Star of the State of Brunei Darussalam, namely The Most Exalted Order of His Majesty Laila Courage Spelled – First Class or Darjah Paduka Courage Laila Spelled the Very Very Bright Gem of the First, and is entitled to wear the title “Dato Paduka Seri”. In addition, Raja Malaysia also conferred awards for outstanding service to Indonesian and Malaysian security as well as regional security as well as support for the Malaysian Diris Policy. Even with the country of Singapore, which also gave awards for Tito’s dedication to the fight against terrorism and maintaining security and order.
In addition, Tito is said to have received the highest award in the Police National Timor Leste environment in the form of the Marito Award Medal. This award is given because he has helped many cooperation between the two police, both in the form of prevention of transnational crime and in capacity building. That said, the composition of the new Jokowi cabinet two volumes was also supported by people in the class of General Tito Karnavian. Who has football and gait that can not be underestimated. Not only recognized nationally, even they are quite influential in the eyes of the world. The appointment of Jokowi’s ministers is not without reason, because the number one person in Indonesia has a “accelerated” system. While these selected candidates are considered capable of following the President’s direction.
In addition, strong support from these ministers will later be able to assist Indonesian leaders in their performance over the next five years. Not only supporting, but also overseeing and evaluating all systems relating to all policies that will be implemented. This shows that, they are not playing games in developing the Indonesian state. In fact the people elected and have superior seeds united in the government for the Unitary Republic of Indonesia. It’s not as easy as turning the palm of the hand, but they will still try. So what doubts should we fear?
Supporting the performance of Jokowi’s new cabinet is a tangible form of developing the country. With this support, the government will not run alone in creating a more prosperous Indonesia. Let’s trust all matters of governance to those in authority, but we will also remain public monitors. The constructive criticism and suggestions will be needed more than undermining the government seems to pressure.
