BENGKULU - Bengkulu City Government (Pemkot), Bengkulu Province, prohibits state civil servants (ASN) within local governments from using official vehicles for homecoming activities during Eid al-Fitr 1446 Hijri celebrations.
"Our official car is expected not to be used for homecoming, except for example in the city," said Assistant I of the Regional Secretariat (Setda) of Bengkulu City Eko Agusrianto in Bengkulu, Antara, Monday, March 24.
He said, if there were ASNs who during Eid al-Fitr celebrations used official cars to go home outside Bengkulu City, they would impose sanctions according to the rules.
Meanwhile, Bengkulu Governor Helmi Hasan forbade ASN and ranks within the provincial government to use official vehicles during the Eid al-Fitr holiday.
This was done, to ensure that official vehicles in Bengkulu Province were only for official purposes, not for personal interests.
However, if there are different instructions from the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, which allows the use of official vehicles for homecoming activities, then the Bengkulu Provincial Government is ready to implement its policies.
"Yes, don't use it for Eid, but come back again to the President's decision. If the President gives permission to use it, please use it. On the other hand, if the President forbids it, then don't use it. The Bengkulu Provincial Government follows the President's rules," explained Helmi.
