NGANJUK REGENCY (21 November 2021) - The Minister of Social Affairs, Tri Rismaharini, took quick steps to find a solution for the distribution of social assistance when matching data on social assistance for the basic food program in Nganjuk Regency, East Java. One of the quick steps taken by the Minister of Social Affairs was to ask the regional authorities and Himbara to immediately distribute the undistributed aid to the beneficiary families (KPM). "Regarding the data (social assistance) earlier, so Monday I ask for all of them to be completed, Pak Sekda (Regional Secretary) earlier promised to be able to collect all beneficiaries, especially those who have not received the card and have not realized (the use)," said the Minister of Social Affairs.

 

The data matching activity was carried out by the Minister of Social Affairs through discussions between the Ministry of Social Affairs, Social Office, Himbara, and Social Assistance Facilitators in four regencies/cities in East Java, such as Nganjuk Regency, Jombang Regency, Mojokerto Regency, and Mojokerto City.

 

From the discussion, it was found that there are still many prosperous family cards (KKS) that have not been distributed and KPM that have not been transacted, so the Minister of Social Affairs requested that all parties work together to accelerate the distribution, especially the distribution in July - September, and October. "Since it's already November, there's no more time," said the Minister of Social Affairs.

 

The Minister of Social Affairs also conveyed to the Secretary of the Nganjuk Regency to convey to the Regent of Nganjuk that Monday all KKS must be distributed to KPM. "I want Pak Sekda to convey it to the Regent, I ask that KKS will be distributed on Monday, all KPMs are invited somewhere in the field," said the Minister of Social Affairs.

 

For data in Nganjuk Regency the realization of the Basic Food Program as of November 20, 2021, from 119,347 KPM, 113,893 KPM have made transactions for distribution in July - September and for distribution in October from 116,798 KPM, 110,893 KPM have made transactions.
