PRESIDENT-ELECT ADVISED NOT TO EMBRACE ALL POLITICAL FORCES
Jakarta, Oct 15 (ANTARA) - To uphold democracy, President-elect Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is advised not to include all political forces in his next government.
Political observer from the Reform Institute, Yudi Latif, said here on Thursday that to uphold democracy, some political forces should remain outside the pro-government coalition.
"If President Yudhoyono embraces all political forces, including professional cadres from the Golkar Party and Indonesian Democratic Party-Struggle (PDI-P) and includes them in his cabinet, democracy will not run optimally," Yudi Latif said.
He said Yudhoyono's government at executive and legislative levels was already strong without embracing the two political parties, because it would be supported by around 60 percent of the legislative members.
Latif said the cabinet lineup for the 2009-2014 period, should mainly consist of professional cadres from the parties which had supported him to win his reelection.
"President Yudhoyono should stick to his stated criteria, requirements, and procedures in selecting professional figures from the coalition parties," Latif said.
Meanwhile, Fajran Zain, a political observer at The Aceh Institute, said in Banda Aceh on Thursday that Yudhoyono's cabinet should consist mostly of professionals if the government in the next five years wanted to focus more on development.
"President Yudhoyono had better recruit professionals for the positions in his next cabinet, " Fajran Zain said, commenting on the SBY-Boediono cabinet's lineup to be announced soon.
Fajran Zain opined that Yudhoyono should take more progressive measures to make Indonesia more established even after he was no longer president.
He said during Yudhoyono's leadership over the past five years, economic, legal, social and cultural development in the country had taken a better direction and therefore it should be maintained and improved.
He said development of the economic sector should be stepped up to lower the unemployment and poverty rates, and the same was necessary in the legal sector, especially related to corruption management.
