Jambi Social Service Ensures ASN Do Not Receive Social Assistance
JAMBI - The Jambi Social Service confirmed that the state civil apparatus (ASN) in the area did not receive social assistance (bansos), either from the central government or local governments.
"Especially in Jambi so far, no ASN has received social assistance because we have not received any reports related to it," said Jambi Social Service Head Arief Munandar, quoted by Antara, Thursday, November 25.
He emphasized that he would carry out monitoring and evaluation of the distribution of social assistance in Jambi Province.
Arief did not rule out the possibility of ASN receiving social assistance. Because there are hundreds of thousands of people in Jambi who receive social assistance.
In Jambi Province, there are 192,000 residents who receive social assistance from the government, both assistance from the Family Hope Program (PKH) and social assistance from other programs sourced from the central government and local governments.
"With so many beneficiaries, it is difficult to monitor one by one. I do not rule out the possibility that the information is true," said Arief Munandar.
In Jambi Province, there are 112,000 PKH recipients. Of this number, there are 580 PKH coordinators and assistants to the PKH regional coordinator who oversee the distribution of the social assistance.
If there is a report related to this, Arief emphasized that action will be taken immediately. Because the rules for distributing social assistance are regulated in the law that ASN is not allowed to receive social assistance. Anyone involved in abusing the aid could be fined and imprisoned.
"Those who register and receive can be subject to sanctions, whoever is involved, including those who receive and provide social assistance," said Arief Munandar.
