Jakarta – Vice President Jusuf Kalla said newly appointed ministers should do their job according to the policies set by the central government. His comment came after several new ministers appointed during President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo's latest cabinet shake-up caused public uproar with controversial ideas for new policies.

"Ministers can take different ways to reach their goals, but the goals should remain the same," Kalla said in Jakarta on Wednesday (10/08).

"The most important thing is they manage to reach what we set out to do. If the new ministers know a shortcut to get there, then, please, by all means pursue it. But make sure you get to the same finishing line," Kalla said.

One of the ministers Kalla referred to was new Education and Culture Minister Muhadjir Effendy, whose proposal for a "full day school" has angered many parents.

President Jokowi has also warned his new ministers not to pursue their own personal goals, but follow closely the guidelines established by him and Kalla.
