“The roadmap is clear. The key to sustainability is not in the macro policies, not in the macro plans, but more importantly, is on how to oversee the implementation,” the President said at the opening of the Investor Daily Summit 2023 at Hutan Kota by Plataran, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday (10/24).

The President also underlined that detailed works are essential on the ground to ensure the implementation. Therefore, he ordered his administration to form a supervisory team so that the implementation on the ground complies with the existing policies.

“Indeed, we cannot only work on a macro level. We cannot. Instead, we must have a team, each ministry/institution must assign a team to oversee the implementation on the ground. Usually, the younger ones are pleased to be assigned to the ground. To monitor on the ground, to inspect on the ground, to supervise on the ground, so that it is in accordance with the policies that we have set,” he said.
