TKN Says Prabowo-Gibran Will Side With The Economy Of The Economy

JAKARTA - Deputy Chairperson of the Prabowo-Gibran National Campaign Team (TKN), Ahmad Muzani, said the presidential and vice presidential candidate pair number 2 would take advantage of their position to side with the people's economy if they won the 2024 presidential election.

"This is what the Indonesian economy hopes will strengthen and rise in the years to come. The government supports and provides facilities for them. Pak Prabowo's position as president (if elected) will be used to help those who are small and weak," said Muzani while attending the declaration of Tegal residents at the Joang Building '45, Jakarta, Sunday.

Muzani added that the Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka pair had a program to strengthen micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Moreover, he added, so far the contribution of MSMEs is considered a pillar of the national economic buffer.

Through this program, Prabowo-Gibran offers easy access to market expansion and capital, including easy and cheap credit facilities specifically for MSMEs.

Prabowo-Gibran's free lunch and milk program, he continued, will later indirectly have an impact on improving the local economy, in addition to bringing the main mission of improving the nutrition of children and adolescents.

"The provider of vegetables, rice, oil, eggs, meat, milk, is expected to be provided from the surrounding area, including perhaps from warteg, but this has not yet arrived (discussed); but, hopefully, the local economy can grow every day on school days," explained Muzani.

In addition, Muzani also emphasized that Prabowo-Gibran will continue programs that favor the small people, such as expanding the provision of direct cash assistance (BLT) and Village Funds.

"The Family Hope Program (PKH), BLT, Village Funds, and BPJS are government facilities that are intended to strengthen and empower those who have not received development cakes," said the secretary general (sekjen) of the Gerindra Party.

The KPU has determined three pairs of presidential and vice presidential candidates to participate in the 2024 presidential election, namely Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar number 1, Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka number 2, and Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD number 3.

Meanwhile, the schedule for the presidential and vice-presidential candidates was held five times during the 2024 election campaign period.
