Minister Of Social Affairs: Aceh Is Better In Distributing Social Assistance

BANDA ACEH - Minister of Social Affairs Tri Rismaharini said Aceh was better at distributing social assistance from other regions in Indonesia.

"Aceh is getting better at distributing social assistance to the Ministry of Social Affairs", said Social Minister, Tri Rismaharini, after handing over aid in Aceh Besar, quoted by Antara, Thursday, September 2.

According to the Minister, this can not be separated from the data on recipients of assistance getting better. The better the data, the better the distribution.

Tri Rismaharini said a common obstacle faced by Aceh in distributing social assistance was regional geography. Some beneficiaries are located far from the district center.

In fact, said the Minister of Social Affairs, there are also recipients of aid in the outer islands such as on the island of Aceh. However, these problems can be solved by going directly to the beneficiary.

"Such as social assistance in the form of cash. Distribution parties such as Pos Indonesia and Bank Syariah Indonesia go directly to the recipients of assistance", said Tri Rismaharini.

Thus, said the former mayor of Surabaya, East Java, the recipients of aid do not go too far from their homes just to collect social assistance.

Regarding the data on beneficiaries, Social Minister Tri Rismaharini said that he had sat down together and discussed the data issue.

According to Tri Rismaharini, local government officials are relatively in control of data and issues of distribution of social assistance, so that the problems that hinder can be resolved.

"For example, there are recipients who do not deserve assistance, they dare to cross it out. Some areas do not dare. So, I am grateful, Aceh dared to do it", said Tri Rismaharini.
