JAKARTA, KOMPAS — Of the seven indicators of government performance that in the Kompas survey last January were considered unsatisfactory, in the May 2023 survey there remained two indicators that were unsatisfactory, namely eradicating bribery and buying and selling legal cases, providing employment and reducing unemployment. The May 2023 survey results show the government's efforts to take care of various responsibilities are appreciated by the public so their consistency must be strengthened until the end of the government period.
The results of the Kompas Research and Development Survey from 29 April to 10 May 2023 showed satisfaction with the performance of President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo and Vice President Ma'ruf Amin amounted to 70.1 percent, up 0.8 percent from the January 2023 survey. Of the four fields reviewed, law enforcement is in the fourth-lowest position in the level of public appreciation (59 percent), followed by the economy (59.5 percent), security politics (74.4 percent) and social welfare (78 percent).
