PASAMAN BARAT - The Regent of West Pasaman, West Sumatra, Hamsuardi and Deputy Regent Risnawanto refuse to buy a new official car. The reason is that the new car budget can be used for the benefit of the community.
"There is no other purpose. But the budget can be used to build bridges, roads or other community interests," Hamsuardi said in West Pasaman, quoted by Antara, Monday, March 1.
Although the funds have been budgeted to buy a new official car, Hamsuardi and Risnawanto, who were just appointed as regents and deputy regents on Friday, February 26, agreed to prefer to use the old official car.
The regent's official car uses an existing car, the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. Meanwhile, the deputy regent used the old Fortuner car.
According to Hamsuardi, currently all regions are struggling with budgets amid the COVID-19 outbreak. There will even be more refocusing or shifting of budgets for the benefit of overcoming COVID-19.
"If you can take full advantage of everything. Why should you buy a new one? Because the cars used today are still good and fit for use," he said.
Meanwhile, Head of the General Section of the West Pasaman Regency Government, Faisal, confirmed that the regent and deputy regent prefer to use official cars that have been used by previous officials.
"This official car with the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado brand has parked for a period behind the official residence. He prefers this car to be paired back with the BA 1 S," he said.
Likewise for the deputy regent who chose to use an old official car with the Toyota Fortuner brand to be paired with BA 2 S.
