President Jokowi: Please Staff The Homecoming Palace And Celebrate Eid Al-Fitr With Family

JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo invited the staff of the Indonesian Presidential Palace to go home and celebrate Eid al-Fitr 1444 H with their respective families, so Jokowi only asked to be accompanied by very limited devices during the Eid holiday. "The president asked for very limited devices attached. This year the PPKM (implementation of restrictions on community activities), so the President hopes that employees will use this year's opportunity to gather with families or those who want to go home, please," said Deputy Bureau of Press, Media, and Information of the Presidential Secretariat Bey Machmudin when confirmed in Jakarta, Thursday. Jokowi is scheduled to celebrate Eid in Surakarta City, Central Java, with his wife, children, son-in-laws, and grandchildren. Currently, Jokowi is in Surakarta City. Bey explained that President Jokowi was also not accompanied by Minister of State Secretary Pratikno and Cabinet Secretary Pramono Anung while in Surakarta. The two ministers usually accompany the president while he was out of town.

Even though he is undergoing joint leave with his family in Surakarta, Jokowi will also continue to monitor and receive reports from ministers regarding homecoming services. "No. Pak Seskab and Minister of State Secretary are also with their respective families. The president during the collective leave will be with his family, although he continues to monitor and receive reports from ministers, especially regarding homecoming," said Bey. This year is the first time the homecoming flow has taken place after the revocation of PPKM status. The government estimates that the number of travelers will increase to 45 percent to 123 million travelers in Lebaran 2023 compared to 86 million travelers in 2022.
