Two-Year Government Evaluation: Prabowo Claims 108 Issues Resolved, 'Not a Small Achievement'

President Prabowo Subianto opened the Plenary Cabinet Session at the State Palace in Jakarta on Monday, attended by Vice President Gibran Rakabuming, all ministers of the Red and White Cabinet, the President’s Special Envoys, and the heads of high state institutions.

In his speech, President Prabowo said the cabinet session was deliberately held mid-year to welcome the 17 August celebrations and as the government approaches its two-year mark.

According to him, an evaluation is necessary to see how many programmes have been achieved and what needs to be improved in order to accelerate policies that remain pending.

“As we approach two years, we have worked very hard, very intensively. By working so hard and intensively, we ourselves are not fully aware of how much we have accomplished in our first two years,” President Prabowo said.

President Prabowo said that over nearly two years, the government has faced many major challenges, particularly amid a turbulent global situation.

Nevertheless, he urged the entire Red and White Cabinet not to be daunted in confronting the nation’s various problems and to focus on resolving them.

President Prabowo emphasised that the government has no intention of looking for faults or comparing its performance with the previous administration. According to him, every government faces the challenges of its own time.

Furthermore, President Prabowo said that all ministers and agency leaders are elements of the nation’s leadership who have received a mandate to confront and resolve the country’s various national problems.
