House member Djoko Udjianto
expressed his grievances about economic slowdown resulting in people’s low
purchasing Power. Hr urged the Government to take sound measures to accelerate
program execution which directly touched people’s need. His monitoring outcome
in the regions concluded that economic slowdown in Indonesia had injured small
business (UMKM) in Indonesia. UMKM complained about people’s low purchasing
power which made them hard to sell their products. Djoko said this at
Parliament House on Monday (28/9).
Vice Chairman of the Budgetary Board of House appreciated
Government’s policy which drummed up investors like the 35,000 MW electricity
project but them fruits of such would only be felt in the long run.
Today the people had to fulfill basic needs which was
most pressing. The public did not need fancy programs but sound programs that
generated immediate results.
Djoko also remained the Government of food resiliency
program and rural based programs but no tangible result was felt so far. If
only President Jokowi would go down the villages he would see life was getting
hard and job opportunities were just a as difficult to find.
The government must stop making excuses and put the blame
on external sentiments like global economic slowdown. Everybody knew that many
factors governed Rupiah fluctuation today, but the Government’s inability in
recuing Rupiah showed that the Government had failed to run sound and effective
fiscal management. (SS)
