JAKARTA. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has called on his Cabinet members -- some of whom are also executives of various political parties -- to finish their tasks and deliver their best in the remaining 100 days of his administration.“I hope the ministers and the Cabinet members return to [their] tasks and work actively in finishing [their] main duties,” Yudhoyono said while opening the Cabinet’s plenary meeting on Friday.

In early June, Yudhoyono made a similar call, ordering his ministers to deliver their best in the remaining four-and-a-half months of his administration.At that time, he went so far as to criticize 10 ministries -- including the Religious Affairs Ministry, which has been deemed one of the most corrupt government institutions -- for underperforming, ordering them to improve their performance before they leave office in October.
