She has no say in all of this but it is the president and his on board.. Lets wait and see. But you will be disappointed just be warned
That big plan comes out due to the leak from Defense Ministry office himself. For information, it is still in the form of draf and hasnt come out from Mindef office (not yet pass to Planning Ministry, Finance Ministry, and President office).
Some one inside his circle, look like, has seen this plan as dangerous for our local defense industry future market and progress and also our economy situation. LOL even Minister of Finance is going to tax rice and other essential goods to make our budget healty which clearly shows we are facing big economic challenge ahead
It is a leak that in the beginning is rejected by Minister of Defense top officials and then the leak that first is taken by Miss Connie Rakahundinie is distributed to the media and because of that Prabowo and his inner circle cannot deny again, particularly after parliament asked about this in their meeting with MinDef.
The perpres draft leak is a bless for Indonesia
This is a bless for Indonesia since now we know what is Prabowo plan if he successfuly becomes a President. This plan will likely burden his plan to become a President and will likely be used by other candidates to attack him by informing Indonesian people that Prabowo lack competency interm of very importance matter which is economy and also he shows preference on foreign defense equipment than local defense product.
Latest twitt from his spoke person also clearly see their vision to put local defense industry as "maintenance supplier" rather than OEM (Original Equipment Manufacture)
Latest example
Latest deal on Fincantery (that is stated by our defense analyst as preliminary deal) also once again strengthen my point that Prabowo doesnt care on our local defense industry. In the website of that Fincantery, there is no clear thing about offset and local participation beside the statement they will see whether defense cooperation with PAL can be done.
It is clearly a weak deal in relation to the connection with our local industry, particularly when we compare other offer from Japan and what has become a deal with Denmark which is started under previous Minister of Defense

Here what is stated in their official website
Fincantieri will be prime contractor for the entire program. The construction of the frigates will ensure significant employment benefits not only for several Italian shipyards of the Group in the next years, but also for other companies in the sector, namely Leonardo, as well as numerous small and medium-sized national companies, and will see the collaboration of the local PT-PAL shipyard (Java island). The modernization of the two Maestrale class vessels, which Fincantieri will acquire from the Italian Navy once decommissioned, will also be carried out in Italy.
