JAKARTA - The DPR leadership said that the mandatory use of the PeduliLindung application to buy bulk cooking oil was an innovation from the government. According to Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, the use of the application must be carried out first so that it can be seen whether the policy is effective or not in overcoming the cooking oil problem. "So it's an innovation used by the government, which must be tried first and then we will see whether it is effective or not," said Sufmi Dasco at the Parliament Complex, Monday, June 27. "We appreciate the existing innovation, a breakthrough to then try to solve this cooking oil problem," he continued.

Even so, Dasco will order Commission VI of the DPR to oversee the mandatory use of the application.

It is known, Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment (Menko Marves) Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan said, starting Monday, June 27, the government will socialize the purchase of people's bulk cooking oil (MGCR) using the PeduliLindung application for the next 2 weeks.

According to Luhut, the use of the PeduliLindung application is an effort by the government to overcome the cooking oil disputes that have occurred, ranging from stock shortages to soaring oil prices.

"The government is making efforts to change this system to provide certainty of the availability and affordability of cooking oil prices for all levels of society. The use of PeduliLindungi functions as a monitoring and supervision tool in the field, to mitigate potential fraud that can lead to scarcity and an increase in cooking oil prices," he said.
