Malang, (malangkota.go.id) – Entering the second week of Ramadan, Deputy Mayor of Malang Ir. H. Sofyan Edi Jarwoko invited all state civil servants (ASN) within the Malang City Government (Pemkot) to further improve work discipline. He conveyed this while leading an assembly in the yard of Malang City Hall, Monday (11/4/2022).

Bung Edi, Sofyan Edi Jarwoko's nickname, said that ahead of Eid al-Fitr, the level of public consumption will definitely increase. "Usually the culture of Eid in our society is shopping to prepare for Eid. Our President's order to buy domestic products, so of course we must set an example. Alhamdulillah, the takjil markets are very crowded. The public is happy. Let's facilitate, help, inform the public," said Bung Edi.
As is known, President Jokowi always echoes the National Movement Proud of Indonesian Products (Gernas BBI) campaign. The National Movement #ProudOfIndonesianProud is targeted to be able to encourage the strengthening of the national economy through strengthening micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) including small and medium industries (IKM).
In his recent directive in Bali, Jokowi also invited ministers, heads of institutions, regional heads, and State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) to reduce the procurement of imported goods and encourage the use of domestic goods for procurement of goods in their respective agencies. The President emphasized the use of the state and regional revenue and expenditure budgets, as well as BUMN budgets for the purchase of domestic products in order to spur national economic growth.
Not just an invitation, in order to accelerate the increase in the use of domestic products and products of micro, small businesses, and cooperatives, especially in the government environment, Jokowi issued Presidential Instruction of the Republic of Indonesia Number 2 of 2022 concerning the Acceleration of Increasing the Use of Domestic Products and Products of Micro, Small Businesses, and Cooperatives in the Framework of Making the National Movement Proud of Indonesian Products a Success in the Implementation of Government Procurement of Goods/Services.
