Jakarta - Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto responded to the issue of his government's cabinet being called "fat", by questioning why this was a problem if it was filled by great people.
"Some say our cabinet is fat, there are many, right? But if there are many great people, why?" Prabowo said in his speech at the Closing of the 6th Congress of the Democratic Party DPP in Jakarta, Tuesday night.
It is known that after being inaugurated as the 8th President of the Republic of Indonesia, Prabowo appointed 108 people to become his assistants in government.
The 108 people consist of seven coordinating ministers, 41 ministers, 55 deputy ministers, and five ministerial-level officials, including the attorney general and cabinet secretary.
According to the President, if the cabinet is filled with many great people, it will actually benefit the Indonesian people.
Prabowo emphasized that the problems of the Indonesian nation are very complex and cover various sectors that must be resolved simultaneously.
