Djarot About Jokowi Intending To Continue Social Assistance Distribution Until December: Cawe-cawe For Pilkada

The PDI-P (PDIP) accused President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) of interfering in the affairs of the 2024 Pilkada.

This was conveyed by the Chairman of the PDIP DPP Djarot Saiful Hidayat when he was asked about Jokowi's intention to continue the distribution of social assistance (bansos) in the form of rice until next December. He said, the smell of alcohol was visible and real.

"We don't just smell jokes but see clearly and clearly. The Javanese language, welo-welo cetho," Djarot told reporters at the PDIP DPP office, Menteng, Central Jakarta, Thursday, May 16.

"It means that it's really obvious, it looks really scared. That's how it looks, you know, you know, yes," he continued.

Djarot hopes that election organizers can monitor the distribution of the social assistance. Because the distribution of social assistance in the form of rice until December can be included in the abuse of power.

He emphasized that do not let the practice of distributing social assistance during the 2024 General Election to win one of the candidates happen again. "We really ask that the organizers of this election really supervise. Including the media, including young people. Moreover, the social assistance will be extended until December," said the former Governor of DKI Jakarta.

PDIP will certainly discuss the abuse of power in the implementation of the 2024 Pilkada in a national working meeting (Rakernas) on May 24-26. How can we be able to supervise, guard," said Djarot.

President Jokowi ensured that the distribution of 10 kilograms of rice social assistance per family would continue. In fact, if necessary not only until June but until the end of next year.

However, the practice will of course depend on the state revenue and expenditure budget (APBN). "We pray together, yes, so that it can continue until December," said Jokowi at the Bulog Laende Warehouse Complex, Muna, Southeast Sulawesi, Monday, May 13.
