MEDAN - The Governor of North Sumatra, Edy Rahmayadi, plans to buy a bus as his vehicle for official trips. Governor Edy said the purchase of this bus was to save fuel.

Gubsu Edy conveyed the plan to buy the bus when he responded to the purchase of an official car by the Regent of Humbang Hasundutan, Dosmar Banjarnahor. Governor Edy did not know why Dosmar wanted to buy a new official car.

"I don't know the extent of that interest. I don't know how he is currently transporting", said Governor Edy in Medan Thursday, August 19.

Governor Edy said that it was okay for Dosmar to buy a new official car. But that can be done if the existing official car is no longer suitable for use.

"If the regent's car is no longer feasible, it must be renewed", he said.

Governor Edy then told about the Dosmar official car that he had seen. According to him, Dosmar's official car is already not good anymore.

"But the Regent's car is so bad, I often ridicule 'your car is ugly'. Surely he has a calculation, at the regent's level, it can't be careless", said Governor Edy.

Governor Edy then asked that the purchase of this car not be associated with political matters. He then gave an example of himself wanting to buy a new bus.

"Don't take it into politics. It's like I'm driving a bus", he said.

Governor Edy explained the reason for the planned purchase of the bus. According to him, buying buses is to reduce vehicle fuel used during official visits outside Medan.

"Why? If I go to Sibolga or Madina, for example, this row of cars, I, the head of the service, are really long, how much fuel do I have to spend", explained Governor Edy.

"Not yet, it's still a plan. If the head of this service can take one bus, it's good, we can discuss it there", he explained.
