By Taufik Al MubarakAge Irwandi-Nazar government had reached 3 years in February next year. But, the voices of disappointment began to emerge. Previous popularity skyrocketing, now slightly decreased. Everything comes down to one question, what has changed when Irwandi-Nazar power?
The question is often asked by people at every opportunity, whether in the form of demonstrations held or send a message to the media that provides the rubric SMS reader. Most of the SMS-SMS is the same tone, questioned about the change in the leadership of Irwandi-Nazar. Did not have any change for the leadership Irwandi-Nazar? What Irwandi-Nazar contribution to the people of Aceh who fought for this?
Similar questions are still many more, if the maximum diinventarisir, especially with the media monitor provides a special page for rubric Pemabca SMS. For us the question that citizens of their pessimism is not a form of leadership the two leaders are the people of Aceh. As people who have chosen them as a leader, very reasonable and appropriate to ask. They have chosen, with a hope of change. When the change was a welcome escape, of course people will ask and keep asking.
Asked, is intended to remind the leaders not to forget his promise. Although, from the past until now, officials promise that never could hold onto, because most appointments are intended as a special product only sold during the campaign.
People are consumed with the promise, wants to 'promise of change' that must be realized. And people were impressed by the questions 'critical' must be seen as a form of interruption to his chosen leader was carried away with populist policies, but forgot to in strengthening. So far, the impression that captured the leader of Aceh was successfully moves with a variety of statements and programs, but less mature in the planning, giving rise to confusion in the community.
Some Acehnese government intention really is to the program "peumakmu nanggroe", "logging moratorium", Aceh Green and a number of investors to Aceh. But, all was not enough to simply launch or statements in the media, signed contracts, and after that did not sound any more aap. These programs need thorough planning. Because, when no planning is done, the policy was shaped populist statements, but the actual loss of meaning.
We recognize, too, Irwandi-Nazar, including those who dare with brilliant ideas. And indeed, today's Aceh needs courageous leaders like them. Problem credibility, these two men have no doubt. However, capital is not enough courage. They are, need the ability not only personal ability, but the ability to respect others.
Impression that caught the public (in some districts are also experiencing the same thing), Irwandi like walking alone, and too confident with her abilities. In fact, his own Irwandi Nazar plus the rebuilding of Aceh can not rely solely on their own abilities. Irwandi-Nazar need a strong team, who of course know and understand the vision and mission Irwandi. Therefore, the role of a successful team not just aim to deliver them to the chair and deputy head of local government in Aceh, but also ensure the vision and mission real run on the right. Only successful teams have, who knows which programs really can be realized and which programs are just for sale in the campaign.
Now, at the age of governance was twilight, there is a big liability on the shoulders of Irwandi-Nazar, which prosperity and wealth to realize (prosperity) for the people of Aceh. Prosperity, often referred to as a state in which human needs can be met with reasonable steady and continuous. The question then, have a variety of community needs being met?
If the question came the answer "yes", follow-up question, did the people of Aceh prosper and prosper? The answer can vary. Moreover, many of them are working in foreign NGOs with a big salary. But it was only an instant phenomenon. Karen recently, the International NGO in Aceh leave out. BRR existence had once regarded as the barn of money, also has long ended its mandate. Many 'alumni' BRR believed to be unemployed and trying to find somewhere else to occupy them.
We do not have to wonder, if the unemployment rate in Aceh increased. Therefore a logical consequence of a transition period. Which was unfortunate-might not too late to be addressed, is the fate of people who become victims, both tsunami and conflict. Until now they still suffer. That's the realities facing today.
We may be a little fun with one report that never made the World Bank, that the poverty rate declined in Aceh post tsunami and conflict to the point of 26.5% in 2006. But, do not forget, after the year 2004, that number had increased to 32.6% in 2005, from 28.4% rate in 2004.
While the record of Bappeda, mentioning, poverty in Aceh is largely a rural phenomenon, with more than 30 percent of rural households living below the poverty line. This is higher compared with the level of poor households in urban areas is less than 15%.
Vice Governor of Aceh, Muhammad Nazar, on one occasion when the transfer of funds to help rehab homes needy people in Aceh Besar, once said, that during three years of his reign, the poverty rate dropped dramatically from 30% to 20% only. In fact, he says, that number could be even smaller, if only the people who registered by BPS to answer honestly any questions asked staff data.
We may say that the data becomes meaningless when we visited villages that far in the interior or on the outskirts of town. Within one month of income never reached Rp100 thousand. They're just living from agriculture, which can now be planted twice a year. For them, money is enough Rp1000 valuable, because it can enjoy a cup of coffee. Just compare the lifestyle in the city, while the number Rp100 thousand no longer meaningful. An NGO worker who coffee with my friends, to drink coffee in the shop as Solong, Dhapu Kupi, Dekmie, Taufik Kupi and a number of stalls that 'sudden' fame could be up to 300 thousand.
The fact that, just as the temple of song Dorres Deddy, "a rich laugh, partying." While the poor, such as Joni Bang said in one of the film fragment Breueh Pond, "... Nyang in gasien meukuwien when."
Parade of prosperity, in fact have not been touched at all for the people. People are still struggling with pain, especially when the cost of living more expensive. Political elites, NGO workers, and contractors may berselemak luxury with an abundant wealth, luxury cars and houses are big, but the people, to buy cooking oil it is still difficult.
When people express disappointment, do not be understood as a form of hatred, much less as a threat. Questions people-who-don't critical tone is understood as a threat to the legitimacy of power. And the government does not have an allergy to some question, though unpleasant to hear.
The question is, who benefits from the leadership Irwandi-Nazar? The answer is none other than speculators and opportunists who have always played with two faces. Those who have been good at playing in the rhythm of whatever political direction dependent. In fact, with their financial capital is able to save themselves, despite never taking a political stance is different. While the people who had been hand in hand to help Irwandi-Nazar 'only' be a spectator.
In one occasion, Irwandi has stated, that is to be as powerful friend is someone who when sick with him. Now, remember Irwandi above statement?
Before long walk, we are reminded that the journey is still long, we need a more noisy supporters for the future. The burden is not quite borne by one or two people alone. The burden is borne by the person needs to crowded. If not, we can not do anything, no matter how smart and our genius.
We just want to remind you, do not content themselves with a handful of power is not permanent. As though, power is everything. Because, if the powers that make us complacent, and even delirious, be true what is often reminded by our indatu, lagee the meurumpok Jaroebuntong.
