JAKARTA - The head of the Prabowo-Gibran National Campaign Team (TKN) Rosan Perkasa Roeslani said he did not want to polemic and argue about the debate format for the Presidential-Prospective Vice Presidential Candidate (Capres-Cawapres) for the 2024 presidential election. Because, it is considered a waste of people's time. "Unfortunately, it's time for the public to be wasted watching the polemic about the debate format. What is certain is that the Prabowo-Gibran candidate pair is ready to follow whatever format the community wants and is determined by the KPU," Rosan told reporters quoted on Tuesday, December 5. According to him, the most important thing is not the format of the debate. But it would be better if the presidential and vice-presidential candidates compete to convey ideas or show real action for Indonesia. "It is much better for every candidate to compete to convey their own big ideas or show real actions that are beneficial to the community. For example, as we do now every day throughout Indonesia," said Rosan. One example is what the presidential and vice presidential candidate pair, Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka, does by distributing free healthy lunch every day to elementary school children throughout Indonesia. It is said that presidential and vice presidential candidate pair number 2 are committed to providing free healthy lunch every day until the last day of the campaign on February 10, 2024. "At TKN Prabowo-Gibran the principle in our campaign is that it is obligatory to provide direct benefits for others and many people according to their needs. So it is not for our own interests that are prioritized. That is in accordance with the principle of kinship and the principle of mutual cooperation," he said. Later, if Prabowo-Gibran is elected as President and Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia 2024-2029, the program will be one of the government policies that is prioritized with a budget of IDR 400 trillion per year or approximately IDR 1.1 trillion per day. According to the TKN Expert Team, there are 82.3 million young children and pregnant women who need to be assisted and become the government's priority later.

"In addition to freeing more than 30 million young children and 4.8 million pregnant women from the dangers of stunting, the impact of their economic multipliers is also very large. Because the human resources involved in implementing this policy every day can reach millions of people who will enjoy additional income higher than the UMR every month," said Rosan.
