On that occasion, the Minister of Social Affairs also conveyed that the assistance provided could be useful and motivated the recipients of assistance not to give up easily.

 

Meanwhile, the Deputy Mayor of Pasuruan, Mr. Adi Wibowo, welcomed the visit of the Minister of Social Affairs and expressed his gratitude for the social assistance provided to the community amid the Covid-19 Pandemic.

 

In the next activity, Special Staff to the Minister of Social Affairs for Communications and Mass Media carry out data matching together with the Channeling Bank Branch, Regency and City Regional Coordinator Blitar, Pasuruan, and Probolinggo.

 

In the matching process, several obstacles were found in the distribution of basic food assistance programs in these regencies and cities, which included KKS not being distributed, KPM died, KKS doubled, KPM did not attend, and KPM moved.

 

Regarding this problem, the Special Staff of the Minister of Social Affairs for Communication and Mass Media, Don Rozano Sigit asked the Channeling Bank Branches and Regional Coordinators so those data problems were immediately followed up and could immediately distribute the Sembako Program assistance for KPMs that had not transacted or KKS that had not been distributed before the deadline budget in 2021. "As much as possible not to exceed the budget limit in 2021, because later BPK will highlight it," said Don.

 

For the city of Pasuruan itself, the number of KPM consists of 14,255 KPM, of which there are 12,891 KPM transactions and 1,346 KPM that have not made transactions. Meanwhile, the distributed KKS were 13,495 and the undistributed KKS were 466.
