JAKARTA: Home Minister Tito Karnavian has criticised regional decision-makers for not doing enough to spend funds they have received to speed up investment and economic development.
In a meeting on nationwide investment organised by the Investment Ministry, the home minister complained that several regional leaders had the “wrong mindset” on the economics of budget spending and income.
