TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Jakarta Deputy Governor Basuki Purnama Tjahaja ordered all agencies to apply an electronic system in cataloguing the procurement of goods and services (e-catalogue). "If they don’t want to, they will be fired immediately," he said after the inauguration of the e-catalog in Jakarta, yesterday.
Basuki, also known as Ahok, said that the e-catalog system will support budget and time savings. "Not using the system would be stealing," he said.
The Jakarta administration has the budget for the procurement of heavy equipment since February this year. "The savings can reach up to 20 percent," said Ahok again. To support his statement, he will prepare local regulations.
