The Interior Ministry understands the psychological circumstances behind Pak Rudini's statement that it looked like the government was ignoring the KPU, especially when it was linked to the problem of the Supreme Court's fatwa (instruction, guidance).",

The government has so far carried<br>\nout its task as the facilitator in an optimum way, working day<br>\nand night.<\/p>\n<p>The service provided by the government may not be satisfactory<br>\nenough, but the situation will be increasingly difficult if the<br>\ngovernment does not have a hand in it.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the short time available, government appointees are<br>\nalso on the committee for registration of voters (Pantarlih) to<br>\nhelp the political parties facilitate the places for voter<br>\nregistration.<\/p>\n<p>In election monitoring, the government has established a team<br>\nthat helps the KPU in matters of accreditation, visas, IDs, etc.,<br>\nespecially for election monitoring teams from abroad.<\/p>\n<p>The Foreign Ministry has also instructed all RI representative<br>\noffices around the world to help independent teams for election<br>\nmonitoring from abroad with various facilities.<\/p>\n<p>I think the cooperation between the government and the KPU is<br>\ngood. At the moment the KPU is the most important side and the<br>\nmain priority for the government.<\/p>\n<p>The government is fully aware that a good performance by the<br>\nKPU will help this nation pull through from various crises of the<br>\npeople's trust to a truly democratic general election.<\/p>\n<p>HERMAN IBRAHIM<\/p>\n<p>Head of Public Relations<\/p>\n<p>RI Interior Ministry<\/p>",
