The Cabinet members are the agents who are responsible for the authority to intercommunicate with the president. It is believed that the Cabinet members should be elected by the people instead of the president because as is generally known, Indonesia is a democratic country and this identity should be upheld because the people of a country have rights to participate within the election of The Cabinet members with respect to the democratic value.

The second argument is if president directly choose the cabinet member, nepotism may happen. The president would elect the candidate who will not oppose to his policies. Therefore, it will be easier to manipulate financial sector. This indeed will obstruct the national development.

To sum up, the people of Indonesia must be aware of the transparency of the government and the participation in the political engagement including to elect the professional candidates who are able to assist the president.
