Coordinating Minister for Community Empowerment (Menko PM), Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin stated that they would remain 'happy' or happy with the implementation of budget efficiency.
It is known, the total efficiency or budget cuts at the Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Culture reached IDR 65 billion.
"In my ministry, from Rp130 billion, only our budget was cut by Rp65 billion. But we are happy," said Cak Imin to reporters quoted on Saturday, February 8.
According to him, the efficiency of the budget does not mean that community services must decrease. Instead, it must innovate so that all policies that have been announced can run properly.
"With this cut, we will work hard, so that we don't just work based on the budget, based on innovation," he said.
In fact, it is said that there is no significant impact related to the application of budget efficiency. There are only a few things that must be reduced, such as official travel.
"If none of us are affected, the salary is fixed, all are indeed the majority for salaries. Yes, maybe reducing official travel, the number of those who take official trips," said Cak Imin.
