MANADO (1 October 2021) – While evaluating and monitoring social assistance in Manado, the Minister of Social Affairs, Tri Rismaharini said that new KPM proposals from regions could still be accommodated.

 

"This is evaluation and monitoring for distribution, so many people have not been realized because there were additions after I matched the data, the new proposals can be accommodated from the regions," said the Minister of Social Affairs when met at the Center for Social Rehabilitation for Persons with Visual Sensory Disabilities (BRSPDSN) Tumou Tou, Manado City, North Sulawesi (01/10).

 

She also found that many Beneficiary Families (KPM) have not received their rights because they have not received the Prosperous Family Card (KKS) so they cannot make transactions. Knowing this, the Minister of Social Affairs requested that two weeks after the evaluation and monitoring activities, KKS could be distributed entirely to KPM.

 

"Many of the new proposals have not received the Prosperous Family Card, so we ask that two weeks after this, the Prosperous Family Card must be distributed to the beneficiaries," said the Minister of Social Affairs.

 

To be able to do this, the Minister of Social Affairs conveyed that there must be cooperation between the regional government and the Himbara bank so that KKS can be quickly distributed entirely to KPM.

 

"There must be cooperation between the Regional Government and Banks so that distribution can be achieved quickly," said the Minister of Social Affairs.

 

Based on the update dated September 29, 2021, for the distribution of the Basic Food Program in North Sulawesi Province in stages 7, 8, and 9 through Bank BRI, out of 75,111 KPM who have made transactions, 69,803 KPM (92.93%) through Bank BNI, from 16,255 KPM who have made transactions as many as 15,453 KPM (95.06%), and through Bank Mandiri, out of 28,201 KPM that have made transactions, 26,589 KPM (94.28%).
