The City Government of Tanjungbalai, North Sumatra, stated that the procurement of official cars for mayors and deputy mayors allocated in the 2025 APBD was declared deleted.
Tanjungbalai Mayor Mahyaruddin Salim in Tanjungbalai, Monday, said the removal of the official car was a follow-up to Presidential Instruction Number 1 of 2025 concerning budget efficiency.
"Regarding Presidential Instruction number 1 of 2025 concerning the efficiency of APBN and ABPD spending for the 2025 fiscal year, the procurement of the Mayor's official car for this year has been crossed out," Mahyaruddin said after a plenary meeting at the Tanjungbalai DPRD, reported by ANTARA, Monday, March 3.
He explained that vehicles that will be used in the implementation of work in the government will use his private car. Meanwhile, the representative will use the existing official car.
In addition, his party will also streamline the structure of regional apparatus organizations by merging or merging.
Mahyaruddin said the three Assistants would be united as General Assistants to the Tanjungbalai City Government.
"The abolition of the official car budget to changes in the structure of the OPD and Assistant is certainly very helpful for regional finances, which so far there have been many leaks," he said.
In addition, Mahyaruddin explained that the abolition of the official car budget and the downsizing of the organizational structure would certainly greatly help the finances of the Tanjung Balai City Government to meet other more important needs.
