SBY says he is fed up with bluffs

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono says he is fed up with various unrealized plans proposed by politicians.

“I am fed up with so many [unkept] promises, for example for the construction of infrastructure in Jakarta. They were all [bluffs] — and they don’t work,” he said Monday at the opening of a Cabinet meeting at the Bogor Presidential Palace, as reported by tempointeraktif.com.

Yudhoyono told his subordinates not to make unrealistic working plans.

“I don’t like plans that are too thick. It is better to make them as thin as possible; easy to understand. All that is important is that they must be achievable,” he said.

The President said the main plans produced as a result of the meeting should be concrete. They should be complete with budgets, timelines, numbers of workers required, and clearly divide tasks to be undertaken by the central and regional governments.

“So the central and regional governments do not blame each other,” he said.

Yudhoyono also warned that they must also be accountable to the public.
