Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) apparently admitted that the policy of imposing restrictions on community activities (PPKM) that had been instructed for a long time was ineffective.
The implementation of policies aimed at reducing the transmission rate of Covid-19 was neither firm nor inconsistent. In fact, PPKM should be able to limit community mobility activities.
Jokowi’s disappointment was revealed on Sunday (1/31/2021) through a video posted by the Presidential Secretariat’s YouTube account titled ‘President Jokowi Lead Ratas on Discipline Against Covid-19, Bogor Palace, January 29, 2021 ‘
The deputy for Protocol, Press and Media of the Secretariat of the Presidency, Bey Machmudin, then spoke about the reasons why the video was uploaded, 2 days after the meeting.
“Because we see that the public needs to know that in handling Covid, the president is paying a lot of attention to implementation in the field,” Bey said when confirmed.
“The data, both the health related to the management of Covid and the economy, are the concern of the president,” he explained.
Bey said Jokowi’s message was very clear. Until now, the implementation of PPKM has been ineffective and the head of state has called for this policy to be effective in the field.
“So based on the considerations above, and also after we found out, we released it today,” he said.
