JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) asked Attorney General ST Burhanuddin to look at imported products so they are not labeled as domestic products. This step needs to be done because many market places that become aggregators do this.

This was conveyed by President Jokowi while briefing his ministers and institutions and heads regarding the proud affirmation action made by Indonesia in Bali today, Friday, March 25.

"I will monitor it properly, I ask the Attorney General later not to let imported goods into here be labeled as domestic products because often in the market place there are things called aggregators who label," Jokowi said, quoted from the Presidential Secretariat's YouTube.

"Hey, don't think we don't understand," he added.

Jokowi emphasized that this kind of incident had actually happened several times. The government has also often warned, but the stamping of imported products into local products in the marketplace often occurs.

So, he asked all parties to jointly carry out surveillance. "I ask that everything is really monitored and monitored," he said.

The request for the implementation of this supervision, continued Jokowi, also applies to the Minister of Trade to the Director General of Customs and Excise.

"Including the Minister of Trade, the Director General of Customs and Excise. (For example, ed) monitor where these medical devices go, ooo to Province A, to Regency B. Now it's easy to see," he said.

Finally, Jokowi asked all his staff to use locally made goods. In addition, they were asked to make use of the e-Catalog.

"Return to using e-Catalogs and local catalogs. Immediately," he concluded.
