Jakarta –
Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture (Menko PMK) Muhadjir Effendy had an opinion regarding the influence of President Joko Widodo’s working visit (kunker) (Jokowi) in the 2024 Presidential Election results dispute trial at the Constitutional Court (MK). The Constitutional Court judge also reprimanded Muhajdir.
The trial was held in the MK courtroom, Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat, Central Jakarta, Friday (5/4/2024). The trial was chaired by Chief Justice Suhartoyo.
“Regarding Mr President, so actually the President’s visit is not just now, yes it is one of his leadership patterns. I really understand because I accompanied him for a period, when accompanying KIP, Mr President always distributed KIP to the regions. regional areas, what is the aim, to ensure that his policies are indeed landed, indeed delivered in the field,” said Muhadjir as a statement giver to the Constitutional Court.
According to him, Jokowi always emphasizes the importance of immediate APBN spending at the beginning of the year. He said Jokowi often carried out monitoring to find out the implementation of programs, including social assistance.
“Mr President always emphasizes the importance of immediately spending the APBN at the beginning of the year, therefore the DIPA must be given in November or even September, so that in January all programs including social assistance will kick off and that’s where the President steps in to monitor, check whether everything has really been delivered “, as well as to get feedback from those who are the targets of the social assistance,” he said.
“That’s why we often have to invite them, we gather them, for example up to a thousand people to meet with him, to have a dialogue, it’s actually just symbolic,” he continued.
Muhadjir said that Jokowi is currently conducting work visits more frequently to ensure that no priority programs are stalled at the end of his term. He said Jokowi also always managed his kunker and distributed social assistance.
“In my opinion, if there is an area frequently visited by the President, there is a high probability that there will be many national projects,” said Muhadjir.
He then considered it too difficult to assess whether Jokowi’s 100 kunker divisions would have a national impact on social assistance. He said it didn’t make sense.
“Once again, it’s too impossible for just 100 visits to symbolically distribute social assistance to have a national impact, that’s what I think doesn’t make sense,” he said.
Hearing this, Chief Justice Suhartoyo immediately reprimanded Muhadjir. He reminded Muhadjir not to express his opinion as an information provider.
“Please don’t think about that,” said Suhartoyo.
For your information, the 2024 presidential election dispute was submitted by the Anies camp and the Ganjar camp. In their petition, both parties considered that Jokowi’s visit to distribute social assistance would influence Prabowo-Gibran’s victory in the 2024 presidential election.
