  "account": "The president director of state-owned agribusiness company PT Agrinas Pangan Nusantara has expressed dissatisfaction with the slow progress in appointing managers to Red and White Cooperative units. Joao Mota, Agrinas' leader, has condemned the delay as a \"form of structural sabotage,\" arguing that it could impede the government's rural cooperatives initiative. Mota stated that the managers fall under the jurisdiction of the Cooperatives Ministry and the State-Owned Enterprises Regulatory Agency (BP BUMN), and urged these bodies to expedite the appointments. He estimated that Agrinas is prepared to hire 13,000 to 15,000 managers for each willing cooperative. Mota questioned the reasons behind the protracted process, suggesting a lack of clarity and cooperation from the government agencies involved. He proposed that providing the necessary information could facilitate the appointment of managers, emphasizing that the process should be straightforward and cost-effective. Mota also criticized the government for its perceived lack of enthusiasm and innovation in implementing the cooperatives program, which has received priority status under President Prabowo Subianto. He emphasized the urgency of the matter, stating that the program's implementation should commence promptly and that all stakeholders should offer their support.",
