Luhut said he's against Orba, yet did every single thing that Orba and Dwifungsi ABRI stand for. I suppose Dwifungsi's ideology and its' benefits are simply too lucrative for him to ignore. Dwifungsi is cursed, military personnel back then were indoctrinated and prepared to take positions in civil administration and business, rather than training for combat. Luhut is the purest manifestation of how the end-product of Orba era doctrine is supposed to look like. Yet this mentality shouldn't be around in the reformation era, but here we are.
We can start by making the ministers do things that are given to them legally and bureaucratically, and operate within the limits of their tupoksi. That way the government will be balanced, and each minister and their ministry can maximize their role in accordance with what is assigned to them, and focus on developing capability in that direction alone.
Menteri Koordinator for example, there are four of them, handling Political Affairs, Maritime Affairs, Economic Affairs, and Human Affairs. The fact that there are four of them, to begin with, indicates that this coordinating job shouldn't be concentrated on a single person. The idea is to alleviate the burden on the individual President and to distribute them across "themes" (bidang), so that a specialist on that subject can just concentrate on what they are good at, political expert for Menko Polhukam, and economic expert for Menko Perkonomian.
But Luhut simply doesn't give a sht about tupoksi, even less regulation. Initially, he was Menko Polhukam, but then he left, probably because the place doesn't allow for economic exploits? Luhut was educated in public-policy related degree in the US. I am familiar with them; they are really biased toward generalist economic/ development-policy kind of education, not purely political science but also not pure economics either. This is probably why Luhut went like "fck this sht" because back then the Menko position didn't suit his taste, and then he just move to Kemaritiman instead.
Why Kemaritiman? because Kemaritiman was a relatively new ministry, and thus he can control it as he wish. That is why they change it into "Kemaritiman dan Investasi", like what does maritime affairs have anything to do with investment? That stuff is supposed to be handled by Menko Ekonomi. The only logical reason is that it was changed to suit Luhut's interest and skill, so the Kementerian follows the boss, rather than the opposite. That is why the ministries coordinated by Marves are completely arbitrary, many have nothing to do with Maritime things at all.
The conclusion is, that Luhut behaves in the manner of Orba era conduct, he simply sees regulation as something to justify what he did, rather than something to be followed. When regulation and authority of a position don't suit his interest, he changes them arbitrarily. He treats government offices in the manner of Swasta, in which tupoksi is arbitrary and positions are based on political and economic influence rather than rational-legal arrangement. This makes him act more like a businessman which is authority made up entirely just because he can, thus inclining him to seek a profit also like businessmen. So we must make regulation means sht and should be followed, including by Luhut. While also empowering other ministers so that they are not just plonga-plongo because Luhut took all of the initiatives.
