In November 2019, the president of Indonesia - Joko Widodo (Jokowi) - has introduced some young millennials as part of Presidential Expert Staff (Stafsus). They are Putri Indahsari Tanjung - the CEO and Founder of Creativepreneur, Adamas Belva Syah Devara - the Founder of Ruang Guru, Ayu Kartika Dewi - the Sabang Merauke movement initiator, Ankie Yudistia - the Founder of Thisable Enterprise as well as the cadre of PKPI, Gracia Biily Yosaphat Membrasar - the Oxford scholarship awardee, Andi Taufan Garuda - the Founder of Amartha Financial Institution, and Aminuddin Ma'ruf - the former chief of PMII.

It has almost been a year since the appointment ceremony, yet so far, the Presidential Expert Staff is still considered to achieve nothing so significant. As said by Adi Prayitno - the executive Director of Political Parameters - "Even in this period of COVID-19 pandemic, we hear nothing about them. Whereas the appointment itself is done, hoping them to make fresh and innovative maneuver." "They do not seem to work. It is so true what public said, that this Presidential Expert Staff is only such an exhibition,"he added.

Adi Prayitno also said that instead of achievement, they are too notorious of the conflict of interest.One example he explained was the case where Adamas Devara was involved. It was the case where Ruang Guru was appointed to be the partner of the Government's pre-employment card programme. From here, we can reasonably suspect the existence of conflict of interest. Another case was when one of the Presidential Expert Staff made a controversial public statement that is regarded as a work of a buzzer. Adi Prayitno said, "The Presidential Expert Staff should act as a statesman, a nation's spokesman who must not make that kind of mistake, or even any mistake at all."

According to him, those young men may be experts in their own fields before joining the presidential special staff. However, after joining the presidential staff, there is not much thing they can do due to the complicated politics they face.

Regarding the remark uttered by Megawati Soekarnoputri - the Chairwoman of PDI-P - related to the youth's contribution to Indonesia, Adi Prayitno said that there is possibility that it is aimed to the millennials working around the President, which are those Presidential Expert Staff. "It could be a satire for them anyway, the overrated youths who are filled with praises and credits, yet underachieving still," he said.
