MATARAM - The Mataram City Government, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Province, will review the ban on the use of official vehicles for officials to go home for Idul Fitri.

The Regional Secretary (Sekda) of Mataram City H Effendi Eko Saswito said that regulations regarding the prohibition of the use of official vehicles for Eid homecoming must be ensured.

"Is the ban for going out of town or is it aimed at going out of the region. So we have to map it out first," he said in Mataram, Antara, Wednesday, April 20.

The reason, said the secretary, many officials in the Mataram City Government came from outside the city, namely from the districts of West Lombok, North Lombok, Central Lombok and East Lombok.

"There are officials in Mataram City who even go back and forth. If it is considered going home, it means they are not allowed to bring vehicles," he said.

In this regard, the city government has not been able to provide a definite answer to the ban on the use of official vehicles for Lebaran homecoming. "We need to study and map out what the definition of going home is like," he said again.

However, the regional secretary believes that the policy that will be issued by the city government towards the use of official vehicles for going home will still refer to the rules of the central government.

"It's just that the government's policy, we adjust it to conditions in the region," he said.
