Professionals needed for ministerial posts

From Suara Karya

Presidential candidate Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and his running mate, Jusuf Kalla, are now very close to winning the election and will shortly be installed as Indonesia's president and vice president.

Obviously, they are at present faced with a difficult job of choosing the right people for their Cabinet.

To ensure that their administration runs effectively, only professionals widely experienced in business and organization must be picked up for the positions of State Minister of State Enterprises and State Minister of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises. The State Minister of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises must improve the welfare of small- and medium-scale businessmen. At the same time, he/she must be a professional, an entrepreneur and a bureaucrat.

The state minister must also work to win the support of the State Minister of State Enterprises, who must have the same qualities of professionalism in business, organization and bureaucracy.
