DPR Commission I Deputy Chairman Dave Laksono said the results of a\nsurvey by the Center of Economic and Law Studies (Celios) should be\nviewed as one input or evaluation in assessing the government\u2019s\nperformance.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery survey has its own indicators and approach, so its results\nneed to be understood proportionately and placed in the right context,\u201d\nDave said in a written statement on Wednesday, 14 October 2026.<\/p>\n
Regarding the performance of Energy and Mineral Resources Minister\nBahlil Lahadalia, Dave said the assessment should consider the policies\nand programmes that have been implemented, including efforts to\nstrengthen national energy security and promote the downstream\nprocessing of natural resources.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese initiatives are important for increasing domestic value added,\nmaintaining energy availability and supporting economic growth.\nAchievements should therefore be assessed objectively, while taking into\naccount the challenges that remain and the benefits of the policies for\nthe public,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Dave also said that implementing these initiatives requires policy\nconsistency, investment and cross-sectoral coordination.<\/p>\n
\u201cResults should not be measured only by the programmes being carried\nout, but also by the ability to strengthen national industrial capacity,\nmaintain energy supplies and deliver sustainable economic benefits to\nthe public,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
At the same time, Dave said the survey results could prompt\nreflection on how well the public understands and experiences government\npolicies.<\/p>\n
\u201cA public official\u2019s success is reflected not only in the programmes\nthey implement, but also in the tangible impact of those policies in\nmeeting public needs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Dave said ministers\u2019 performance should therefore be assessed\ncomprehensively, taking into account programme achievements, policy\neffectiveness and the benefits delivered.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis approach is important so that evaluations do not rely solely on\nperceptions, but also consider results and the challenges faced in\ncarrying out their duties,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Dave said he believed public feedback could encourage continued\nimprovements in government performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat matters most is that all cabinet members remain focused on\ntheir duties and translate the President\u2019s directives into policies that\ndeliver tangible benefits to the public and support the national\ninterest,\u201d he said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/dave-laksono-bahlils-performance-cannot-be-judged-solely-by-celios-survey-1791985919", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
