According to the Minister of Social Affairs, one of the obstacles faced in Aceh in distributing social assistance is geographical conditions. Therefore, she directs that problems should be resolved quickly. In addition, the Minister of Social Affairs also asked PT Pos Indonesia to help distribute the assistance that was not distributed due to geographical conditions so that it was immediately delivered directly together with BSI and the Social Service Office. In addition, she said that KKS that were not distributed due to several obstacles, such as unfit or no heirs, had to be resolved immediately. Then for KKS that are not distributed because they cannot be found, they must immediately coordinate with the Dukcapil (Population and Civil Registry), because according to her, the recipient data is the same as the data from the Directorate General of Dukcapil, Ministry of Home Affairs.

 

Furthermore, during the discussion on the Distribution of Cash Social Assistance, the Minister of Social Affairs asked PT. Pos Indonesia, if the 2,755 KPM failed to distribute from the 5 regencies/cities, it should be unblocked so that the KPM will receive assistance when the re-examination has been completed between the Social Service and PT.
