Under a bright and cheerful sky, three kids play on a slide in the park. But they have to decide who has the first turn. One told the other that they should do rock-paper-scissors, one chose 'hompimpah alaium gambreng', and another boy proposed to have the first go. Because of this debate, they must decide which method they use best and ask the adult. One had an idea to ask the parents, one chose how about to ask the teacher, and another one told the other to ask the strangers around... The joy of 'method' has replaced the enjoyment of slides. And we cannot really trace what is the real goal now.
Sounds like a vicious circle...in a ridiculous way.
So when Sri Mulyani, the Indonesian finance minister, complained 24,000 government apps for 'burning the money', we can get her insight. Indonesia has shown not only a master of managing 'policy cards' (Kartu Indonesia Sehat, Kartu Indonesia Pintar, etc, etc) but also 'policy apps'. Too many of them until we forgot the fundamental objectives of all those apps.
The irony remains in two things: i) that Indonesia has nowhere from the poverty line, only going deeper, with or without 24,000 apps; and ii) that Sri Mulyani's office, the Ministry of Finance, has previously agreed to budget all of the government's spending and validate all of its proposals.
Sri the devil's advocate? Or simply just heard a revelation from the sky?
