President Prabowo Subianto stated that he will take responsibility if\nthe Indonesian people experience hunger. He emphasized that as president\nand a mandate holder of national sovereignty, he is accountable for the\nwell-being of the nation. He made this statement during a speech at the\ninauguration of 1,061 village\/urban cooperative units (Kopdes Merah\nPutih) in Nganjuk Regency, East Java.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs president, I am responsible; I am the mandate holder of national\nsovereignty. I was sworn in, and I am responsible. If this nation is\nhungry, I will take responsibility,\u201d Prabowo said on Saturday, May 16,\n2026, as quoted from a broadcast on the Presidential Secretariat\u2019s\nYouTube channel.<\/p>\n
The General Chairman of the Gerindra Party emphasized that no other\nparty can be held accountable if the Indonesian people go hungry.\nTherefore, when he took office as President, Prabowo assigned Minister\nof Agriculture Amran Sulaiman and his staff to achieve food\nself-sufficiency within four years. However, Prabowo claims that his\nsubordinates in the Red and White Cabinet can achieve this target in one\nyear.<\/p>\n
On that occasion, Prabowo appreciated Amran\u2019s performance. Prabowo\nsaid that he didn\u2019t know Amran before. \u201cI happened to meet him. I asked\ntwo or three questions, and it turned out that he was a good person with\ngood ideas,\u201d said Prabowo.<\/p>\n
In fact, Prabowo said that he was the one who suggested to former\nPresident Joko Widodo that Amran be reappointed as Minister of\nAgriculture. \u201cThen I proposed it to Mr.\u00a0Jokowi, and he was brought back\nin as Minister of Agriculture. And then, as foreigners say, especially\nthe British, \u2018the rest is history,\u2019\u201d Prabowo said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/prabowo-i-will-take-responsibility-if-the-people-go-hungry-1780663999", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
