His party heard that there were deductions from KPPS transportation money in a number of areas.

"Regarding the Bimtek KPPS, it is almost evenly distributed, we hear that the deduction of transportation money and the rights of participants. I ask North Sumatra not to happen," he said.

He explained that KPPS officers have the right to carry out their duties in the 2024 General Election and have been budgeted by the KPU.

"The maximum transportation is IDR 150 thousand, there is a maximum but don't give it less. There is already a reasonable and approximate price. We have given it in the budget," he said.

"I said no more, there are cuts, no more saying the budget has not gone down, that's not true. It's just a matter of friends' commitment as implementers. Whether they don't do it according to the rules or not," he said.
