Jakarta (B2B) - Menteri Kehutanan Zulkifli Hasan menyangkal kementerian yang ia pimpin, Kementerian Kehutanan, mendapatkan "rapor merah" dari Unit Kerja Presiden bidang Pengawasan dan Pengendalian Pembangunan (UKP4) dalam empat tahun masa pemerintahan Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono-Boediono.
"Kalau api merah, tapi bukan rapor merah," kata Zulkifli di sela-sela pertemuan bilateral dengan Menteri Konservasi dan Kehutanan Myanmar H E U Win Tun serta Menteri Lingkungan Dan Sumber Daya Air Singapura Vivian Balakrishnan di Jakarta, Senin.
Menurut Zulkifli, kebakaran hutan di provinsi Riau pada beberapa waktu lalu belum tentu berimpilkasi pada "rapor merah" yang diindikasikan kepada Kementerian Kehutanan.
"Rapor merah sama kebakaran hutan enggak ada urusannya," ujarnya.
Sebelumnya, Kepala UKP4 Kuntoro menyebutkan ada sejumlah kendala yang menjadi masalah dalam menjalankan pemerintahan di antaranya terkait persoalan teknis, seperti koordinasi dalam kebakaran hutan.
"Memang ada satu dua ya (kementerian)," ucapnya enggan menyebutkan.
Namun, dia menyinggung masalah kebakaran hutan yang masuk wilayah kerja Kementerian Kehutanan.
"Satu hal yang repot sekali sekarang itu kebakaran hutan, ini bagian sistem dan bagian nasib," katanya.
Dia juga mengimbau untuk berhati-hati dengan "el nino" yang dikhawatirkan melanda Indonesia.
"Karena kalau masuk dan melanda kita. Kita mesti hati-hati sekali, kehutanan, lingkungan hidup akan buat Sumatera kering, kalau kering kebakaran akan buat repot," tuturnya.
Namun, Kuntoro menyebutkan secara keseluruhan Pemerintahan Kabinet Indonesia Bersatu II cukup baik, dan hampir semuanya tercapai sejak 2009.
"Berjalan dengan baik karena fondasi sudah terpasang selama empat tahun dan sistemnya bekerja hampir otomatis, berjalan baik, tidak perlu upaya ekstra tingkatkan kinerja," katanya.
Jakarta (B2B) - Indonesian Forestry Minister, Zulkifli Hasan denied that his ministry had got a red report card from the Presidential Working Unit for Development Supervision and Control (UKP4) during the current term of the Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono government.
"The fire is of course red, but not the report card," the minister stated on the sidelines of a meeting with Myanmars Conservation and Forestry Minister, Win Tun, and Singapores Environment and Water Resource Minister, Vivian Balakrishnan, here on Monday.
Minister Zulkifli Hasan asserted that the recent forest fires in the Riau province will not have an implication on the red report card as what had been indicated by the forestry ministry.
"The red report card and forest fires are completely unrelated," Zulkifli claimed.
Earlier, Head of the UKP4 Kuntoro Mangkusubroto remarked that numerous problems, such as those related to technical matters faced in coordinating the fight against forest fires had served as constraints in smoothly running the government, among others.
"Yes, one or two ministries have received red cards," Kuntoro noted without divulging further details.
However, he referred to the problem of forest fires for which the forestry ministry is answerable.
"One of the most pressing issues is forest fires. This is partly due to the system and also due to something that has been destined to occur," Kuntoro added.
He also called on the people to be vigilant about the possible emergence of the El Nino phenomenon, which is feared to strike Indonesia.
"We have to be very careful if it hits Indonesia. Our forests and environment in Sumatra will be become severely dry and parched. If it becomes dry, it will pose a problem for us," he reiterated.
However, he emphasized that the Yudhoyono government had fared quite well overall and had implemented all its programs since 2009.
"It was running well because it has laid the foundation in four years and the system works almost automatically. There is no need to work extra-hard to increase the performance," he explained.
