"With the help of God, Insya Allah we will manage."Jakarta (ANTARA News) - President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has reminded the government officials to be consistent in implementing the decided working programs amidst a tendency of political escalation prior to the general elections in 2014.
"I have to reiterate it, this year and next year," the president said here on Thursday when chairing a limited cabinet meeting on the government`s working plans.
"First, it`s the political escalation because of the upcoming general elections, like what had happened in 2003 and 2004, as well as 2008 and 2009. It`s escalating when we are approaching the elections. With the help of God, Insya Allah we will manage," he said.
The second dimension, according to the head of state, is the political escalation triggered by non-election issues.
"The actors are by accident those who have become hot political topics, different from political actors next year (participants of the general elections). This has to be handled until the general elections 2014. All of them have to be managed properly, and we have to prioritize the public interests," he stated.
If the government manages to implement all of its programs which are beneficial for the community, the political dynamism will not hamper the administration works and the people`s life, he added.
"It`s not exaggerating if I remind (the government officials) that despite the political escalation, don`t forget to manage the people`s economy. If the people`s needs are met, the people will become `a fortress` of political dynamism or whatever it is. It`s our aim," he said.
The limited cabinet meeting was attended by Vice President Boediono and all coordinating ministers.
