Palace Responds to Public Scrutiny of Public Works Minister's Communication Style

Minister of State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi has confirmed that President Prabowo Subianto routinely evaluates the performance and communication styles of his cabinet members. This statement was made in response to public scrutiny directed at Minister of Public Works Dody Hanggodo, whose manner of speaking has recently been deemed careless. Prasetyo stated that any feedback regarding a minister’s public communication would be noted and communicated internally with the expectation of improvement. He added that each minister has a distinct communication character, and evaluations are contextualised according to the specific issue at hand. In a separate statement, Minister Dody Hanggodo addressed the criticism, explaining that his informal style stems from his background in the private sector and his East Javanese origins. He welcomed the public’s input, viewing it as constructive feedback for his personal development.
