Social Minister Risma Asks PKH Recipients In Surabaya To Be Picked Up At Their Homes

SURABAYA - Minister of Social Affairs Tri Rismaharini asked residents who received social assistance in the form of the Family Hope Program (PKH) to be picked up at their respective homes when PKH was disbursed in Surabaya.

"Come on, Mr. Camat, the Lurah is divided into each sub-district and picked up one by one so they can receive it immediately," said Social Minister Tri Rismaharini when distributing cash PKH in Pakis Village, Sawahan District, Surabaya, quoted by Antara, Monday, December 27.

Social Minister Risma asked that the disbursement of social assistance to beneficiaries in all regions could be accelerated before December 31, 2021. For Surabaya, Social Minister Risma distributed cash PKH in Tambaksari District and Sawahan District.
