Raffi Ahmad Acknowledges His Abilities, Grateful to Be the Special Envoy of the President - Not a Minister or Deputy Minister

Kapanlagi.com - Raffi Ahmad has recently undergone his inauguration as the Special Envoy of the President for Youth Development and Arts Workers. Many people were surprised, but quite a few congratulated him and acknowledged Raffi Ahmad's abilities.

In a TV show that he hosted with Irfan Hakim, Raffi Ahmad shared how his journey was before he was chosen, informed, and inaugurated as the Special Envoy of the President in the Red and White Cabinet chosen by President Prabowo and Vice President Prabowo for the 2024-2029 term.

"Because you see, because anything can change if you haven't been inaugurated yet. So that's why, yesterday it wasn't that I didn't say anything or what." explained Raffi Ahmad as quoted from Trans7 Official.

However, because he has received the mandate to keep a secret, Raffi Ahmad undertakes that. He admitted that he had to sign an integrity pact before being called to Kertanegara (Prabowo's residence).

In the agreement, he is not allowed to announce or inform anyone. He also admitted that he is not allowed to go abroad or even out of town during that time.

Raffi is also grateful that he was chosen as the President's Special Envoy, rather than a Minister or Deputy Minister because he realizes his capacity.

Raffi recounted,"That's one of the reasons why maybe being the President's Special Envoy is more suitable for me, because my capacity is still... still here. If we become a minister (or deputy minister), that's already very structural," explained Raffi Ahmad.

Raffi admits that he still loves the entertainment world, so he can't leave it behind just yet. He realizes that a higher position than this feels like something he still can't handle well.

"For me as well, I still feel like this (the entertainment world) is something I can't completely leave behind," he said.

Raffi Ahmad also acknowledges the diverse responses from many people, so he realizes his capacity as a person who cannot do more than that.

Previously, Raffi Ahmad also commented on how he appeared serious during the inauguration ceremony at the State Palace. Many people might find it inappropriate, and Raffi provided clarification.

"So here's the thing, sometimes we (work) also, for example, I do according to my job desk. For instance, as a host, I just become Raffi Ahmad the host. No need to act cool or anything. But when we present formally, especially since we are working as Palace Envoys, we have to conduct ourselves with proper language," explained Raffi Ahmad.
