RISK OF INEFFECTIVE COORDINATION

According to experiences, 44 to 46 ministers (and ministries) might take workplace. The new ministerial regulation, ratified on September 20, eliminated the utmost restrict of 34 cupboard posts, thus permitting future presidents to have free rein.
There can also be hypothesis that new ministries and companies might be created and current ones might be overhauled or break up.
The new coordinating ministries talked about embrace one for Society, whereas new ministries might cowl coverage areas comparable to training, analysis and know-how, setting, forestry, artistic financial system, regulation, immigration and penitentiary, and new companies oversee presidential communications, vitamin and state revenues.
Such enlargement might imply that the federal government might endure from ineffective coordination. More importantly, any institutional preparations of recent and even restructured state establishments will take a very long time.
As a outcome, the brand new authorities won’t be able to instantly work on the applications promised by Prabowo. At a substantive or technocratic degree, a bigger cupboard dilutes the coverage focus, with ministers pursuing their very own agendas reasonably than nationwide priorities.
By together with key political gamers in his cupboard, nonetheless, Prabowo could possibly make political beneficial properties and create a extra united entrance in parliament, significantly if he affords cupboard positions to the Indonesian Democratic Struggle Party (PDI-P).
We might know the make-up of the Cabinet earlier than Inauguration Day, however some speculative experiences point out a number of loyalists who might play main roles.
Names embrace Setyo Hadi, Sugiono, Rachmat Pambudi, Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin, Anggito Abimanyu, Burhanuddin Abdullah and present cupboard members comparable to Pratikno, Azwar Anas, Airlangga Hartarto, Budi G Sadikin and Erick Thohir.
