Gov Policy

Political observers from the University of Indonesia (UI) Arbi Sanit assess the rejection made by the Central Kalimantan governor Teras Narang over a government proposal to build the railway trans-Kalimantan due to the selection of government officials or ministers who are not qualified.

Officers who are not qualified due to causes not populist government policy, and regional communications center is not running. The result, rejected the central government's policy of local governments. "Obviously our government has no authority. Populist policies and did not make the object of development," said Arbi Sanit said here on Friday (5 / 8).

According to him, the source of the problem Teras Narang defiant as interior minister did not have the ability to dialogue. Home Minister should have early consultation with local government about the construction of railroads. Thus awakened a mutual dialogue between local and central.

"From the beginning I have said, Minister of Home Affairs was wrong. He is not qualified, appointed by SBY only because of the proximity alone. The task is to engage in dialogue with regional interior minister," said Arbi Sanit.

According to him, the pattern of recent government policy in case the railroad is still centralism. The central government regional development remain an important reference.

Patterns such as the central approach, he continued, is the dominance approach. Supposedly, the approach to government policy during the current autonomous shift from domination to partnership or partnership. Policies should always be didialogkan. "Now the approach is precisely the authoritarian New Order era," he said.

Therefore, he argues, to complete this peroalan, central, regional and investors must re-sit together to negotiate. "You can not just unilaterally make policy," he explained.
