        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Public Works Minister Dody Hanggodo has assured\nthat he will not engage in negotiations with President Prabowo Subianto\nregarding the budget efficiency policy of Rp12.7 trillion implemented in\nhis ministry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, negotiation. In my opinion, no, I don\u2019t want to negotiate, why\nnegotiate?\u201d Dody stated in Jakarta on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>According to Dody, the government\u2019s efficiency measures are believed\nto be based on strong considerations, so as the President\u2019s aide, he\nchooses to execute the policy optimally and with full\nresponsibility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a general aide, if I\u2019m told to work, of course I will. If I have\nno money, I\u2019ll say I have no money. That\u2019s it. And the 2025 experience\ntells me it can be done easily,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>With that capability, the ministry can flexibly adjust programmes,\nincluding shifting focus to community-based infrastructure development,\nwhich is deemed to have a more direct impact on the wider community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy directorate generals are all experts in their fields. So they can\neasily switch from some areas to meet community-based infrastructure\nneeds,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Dody acknowledged that community-based infrastructure is one of the\nimportant sectors that remains prioritised because it can provide hope\nand economic benefits to lower-income groups amid the current economic\nconditions.<\/p>",
