The Ministry of Social Affairs Follows Up Viral News About Families Living in Goat Cages
CIANJUR (8 September 2021) - The Ministry of Social
Affairs through Social Rehabilitation Center Ciungwanara responded quickly to
the viral news on the online news site Kompas TV on 7 September 2021 about a
family living in a goat cage.
The Social Worker
assigned to carry out the assessment directly coordinates with the Cianjur
District Social Service. From the results of this coordination, information was
obtained that at this time, the assistance for livable houses (Rutilahu) is in
the process, but there are still problems with the legality of the land
occupied by Mr. Ace Sidik, so the construction of the house will be moved to
another location.
Apart from Rutilahu
assistance, Mr. Ace's family has also been registered as PKH and BPNT
participants. Siti Sari Rumayanti, Head of Ciungwanara Center through Social
Workers advised continuing to oversee the construction process of Rutilahu
"Ciungwanara” Center will continue to oversee the process of Rutilahu
assistance so that Mr. Ace can also move to a more appropriate place" she
ordered.
The Social Worker at Ciungwanara
Center also advised Mr. Ace's family that later when the government aid house
is finished, separate the goat cage and his house, one of which is to live a
healthier life.
The secretary of the
Cianjur District Social Service who was present also said the same thing.
Later, the Government-Assisted Livable House will be built on an area of 70 M owned by Mr. Ace
himself. "Of course we are grateful for the government's response,"
he continued.
