JAKARTA - The Minister of Home Affairs (Mendagri) Muhammad Tito Karnavian confirmed that he would impose sanctions on areas with low vaccination achievements. At the end of 2021, his party will evaluate areas that do not reach the target of 70 percent of the first dose of vaccine.
"For regions that do not reach the 70 percent target, we will evaluate them in the form of warnings and will be given sanctions in the form of disincentives or will not be given additional regional incentive funds," Tito said in a statement in Jakarta, Antara, Thursday, December 17.
On the other hand, for regions that have met the target, the Ministry of Home Affairs will propose to the Ministry of Finance to provide additional regional incentive funds and general allocation funds.
In addition, Tito emphasized that if an area's COVID-19 vaccination rate was low, it would affect the national average.
"Therefore, seeing that West Sumatra (West Sumatra) the vaccine achievement rate is still below 70 percent, then I took the initiative to come here. I have reported to the president, and he asked for an increase," he said.
The Minister of Home Affairs said that his arrival to all regions in Indonesia, especially those where the achievement of the COVID-19 vaccine was still low, was a direct task of the President.
"One of the ministers assigned by the president is to encourage regional governments to speed up vaccination. In addition to the Minister of Home Affairs, the president has assigned the Minister of Health, the National Police Chief, the TNI Commander, the Head of BIN, and the Attorney General together with other 'stakeholders' to move to accelerate vaccination," he said.
