Sokaraja, C Java (Antara Bali) - Indonesian presidential candidate Joko Widodo (Jokowi) came clean about not wanting to promise a lot of programs to the Indonesian people during the campaign period for the upcoming presidential election.

"Two programs are enough. I do not want to promise a lot of programs. Too many programs but not executed, so what to do," stated Jokowi while campaigning in Sokaraja Market, Central Java, on Friday.

Jokowi explained his programs for the people, which included Indonesian education programs named Indonesia Smart Card and health programs through the Healthy Indonesia cards.

"Indonesia Smart Card can be used for school children, especially for those coming from disadvantaged families, so they can continue their studies at school," remarked Jokowi.

Meanwhile, he said the Healthy Indonesia Card can be used by people who cannot afford to get healthcare as it is going to be free of cost.

During the 20-minute visit, Jokowi was accompanied by Chairman of the National Democratic Party Akbar Faisal and Teten Masduki, the deputy secretary of Jokowi and Jusuf Kallas winning team.

The presidential election is slated for July 9, 2014, and will be contested by two pairs of presidential and vice presidential candidates, Prabowo Subianto-Hatta Rajasa and Jokowi-Jusuf Kalla. (WDY)
