KPK Receives 621 Complaints Regarding Providing Social Assistance, There Are 31 Fictional Data

JAKARTA - As of July 3, the JAGA Bansos application belonging to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) received 621 complaints from the public. The most complaints came because they did not receive assistance even though they had registered as social assistance recipients in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"The most common complaint was that the reporter did not receive assistance even though he had registered, namely 268 reports," said Acting Spokesperson for prevention Ipi Maryati in a written statement, Monday, July 6.

Then, 66 reports stated that they did not get their quota when the distribution was carried out, did not get assistance according to the number of 47 reports, the fictitious names in social assistance recipients were 31 reports, received more than one assistance, 7 reports, received assistance with poor quality as many as 6 reports.

In addition, there were also 5 reports of inappropriate social assistance acceptance and various other reporting topics totaling 191 reports.

"A total of 224 complaints have been followed up by the relevant regional governments. The rest is still in the process of being forwarded to the local government and verifying the completeness of information from the reporter," said Ipi.

Until now, the KPK continues to complement the features and content of the JAGA Bansos application. There are three features added in the application. First is the feature regarding the local government COVID-19 budget.

Then there is also the addition of a change information feature in the 2020 APBD for handling COVID-19 and a National Health Insurance (JKN) membership check feature. With these additions, the KPK hopes that the public can participate and oversee the implementation of government policies by observing budget posture.

Meanwhile, with the addition of the JKN membership check feature, it is hoped that the public can carry out checks as a control over employers regarding their obligation to register and pay health contributions for their workers.

"Another change is the integration of the Monitoring Center for Prevention (MCP) which has been accessed via the https://korsupgah.kpk.go.id page, now accessible via the JAGA.ID website," he explained.

Apart from using the website, Ipi said that the public can submit their complaints directly through the device by downloading the JAGA (JAGA Apps) application on the Play store and the App store for the android or iOS operating systems.
