JAKARTA - Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) Amran Sulaiman warned entrepreneurs not to use brokers in procuring goods to the Ministry of Agriculture (Kementan). Amran admitted that he would not remain silent if it was proven that there were companies that used brokers.

He said his party would cross out the company's name from the list of strategic partners. More than that, he also ensured that the company could no longer enter the Ministry of Agriculture.

"But, for you who are outside teasing the ministry of agriculture, you have to balance, my fair. You report, this is my mediating entrepreneur. I'm your blacklist. You can't come here," he said at the signing of the integrity pact commitment at the Ministry of Agriculture Office, Jakarta, Tuesday, October 29.

According to Amran, this step needs to be taken for the good of the Ministry of Agriculture itself and the businessmen involved as strategic partners of the government so far.

"For entrepreneurs who bring brokers, I blacklist. You use brokers, you end up here. You can't. This makes it difficult for us," he said.

Furthermore, Amran said that the entrepreneur who brought this broker would actually try the Ministry of Agriculture. This is because the Ministry of Agriculture has received the task of President Prabowo Subianto to achieve food self-sufficiency.

"Agreed, right? For our good. To achieve self-sufficiency, if we don't start from procurement and so on, it will trouble us," he explained.

Amran also admitted that he received directions from President Prabowo Subianto to greet the community for the welfare of the people. Therefore, he reminded the Ministry of Agriculture partners not to do anything.

"We want to serve you. The President's order is that we are your servants and we have always served you. We serve you, Mr. all partners of the Ministry of Agriculture. And there should be no kinds of things," he said.
