JAKARTA (MAY 24, 2021) - Social Minister Tri Rismaharini presented in a working meeting with Commission VIII DPR RI regarding the poor people in Social Welfare Integrated Data (DTKS). In the meeting, the Minister explained the steps to ensure the credibility of the data.

 

The Minister stated that she always held coordination meetings with some related parties. Among them are the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK), the Financial Services Authority (OJK), the Attorney General's Office, the National Police Headquarters, and so on. The coordination was carried out, including in the decision to “put to sleep” 21,000,156 data on the DTKS.

 

"For the distribution of this aid, it is always under budget inspection, Sir. Even though the data had to be corrected since 2015. So, at that time I asked for permission, this was only for the anticipation so that it would not fall into the realm of crime. So we go ahead with this, there is no purpose whatsoever," said the Minister of Social Affairs in a working meeting with Commission VIII DPR RI (24/05).

 

Previously, the Ministry of Social Affairs has increased the integrity of the DTKS which was later launched under the name of New DTKS through the Minister of Social Affairs No. 12 / HUK / 2021. The Ministry of Social Affairs has also decided to "put to sleep" a total of 21,000,156 duplicate data. However, along the way, the duplicate data can still be used by eliminating multiple names, leaving only one name.

 

The double data referred to in the findings of the Ministry of Social Affairs are double names, or receive double assistance. To overcome this, said the Minister of Social Affairs, this was done by eliminating multiple names, so that only one name was left. The dual names are for the Family Hope Program (PKH), and Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT) / Basic Food Assistance.

 

The Minister of Social Affairs confirmed that the decision was made in coordination with related institutions. Namely the Indonesian Police, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), the Finance and Development Audit Agency (BPKP), and the Attorney General's Office.

 

In the New DTKS, a new feature was introduced, which allowed the community to propose themselves as beneficiaries. In the New DTKS, said the Minister of Social Affairs, two features were added, namely the 'new proposal' and 'rebuttal' features. "Later it remains only to mention the name, location of residence," said the Minister of Social Affairs.
