Risma continues to go down to the community to make sure there are no problems in the distribution of social assistance or others," said Ahmad Nawardi.

Ahmad Nawardi admitted that Regional Representatives Council received many reports of cuts in social assistance or misappropriation. This was conveyed to the Social Minister and immediately followed up with field checks.

“We have received many reports regarding the cuts on social assistance or misappropriation and we have conveyed it to the Social Minister. Her responses are always fast. Therefore, we really appreciate the Social Minister for her work,” said Ahmad Nawardi.

The same thing was conveyed by a member of the Indonesian House of Representatives from the Golkar Party, Muhamad Ali Ridho.

He stated that there was nothing wrong with Social Minister's anger.

“It is natural and normal because her anger was triggered by mishandled things. If things run accordingly, it should be fine. Unfortunately, there are parties who deliberately turn these issues negatively,” said the senior Golkar politician from Madura.

Muhamad Ali Ridho also said that so far Commission 8 has continued to support Social Minister Risma's steps in carrying out her duties, especially in completing the distribution of social assistance.

"We will support Mrs. Risma's work. And we've found no problems so far," said Muhamad Ali Ridho.
