VIVAnews - Political analyst from University of Indonesia, Boni Hargens, blamed the Indonesian president for the assignment of the cabinet for the term office of 2009-2014.

"It seems that President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono chooses incredible individuals," he said on Wednesday, Oct 21.

Even if there are men of competence, said Boni, they are instead positioned in offices which are not their specialties.

Boni cited three candidates of minister from political parties. They have failed of becoming members of the House of Representatives for they were plotted of becoming ministers. 

"There are candidates who failed the regional representative council election and are instead shortlisted justice and human rights minister and coordinating minister for people's welfare. That was quite an odd fact," he said.

As reported, the ministerial candidacy is still on the go. Within a short while, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono will announce the new cabinet structure to the public.
