Want To Resign From Social Minister, DPR: That's Mrs. Risma's Right, Don't Always Get Angry

JAKARTA - The chairman of Commission VIII of the Indonesia House of Representatives is reluctant to comment much on Tri Rismaharini's statement that he will resign if he is unable to carry out his duties as Minister of Social Affairs.

Deputy Chairman of Commission VIII of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Ace Hasan Syadzily, assessed that it was Risma's right to carry out the mandate from President Jokowi.

"It is returned to Mrs. Risma's own attitude", said Ace Hasan to reporters, Friday, October 15.

The West Java legislator assessed that the problem of data on the Family Hope Program (PKH) was indeed a fundamental problem that had not been resolved at this time. He hopes that Risma can fix it according to her authority as a minister, not by being angry in the public sphere as has happened recently.

"So I think this needs to be resolved so that the root of the problem doesn't always cause anger here and there", said Ace.

Previously, Tri Rismaharini stated that she was ready to resign from her position as Minister of Social Affairs if she was unable to work.

This was revealed by the woman who is familiarly called Risma when she talked with the companions of social assistance recipients in East Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara.

On that occasion, she asked that the social assistance assistants in East Lombok could work well so that the aid could be channeled on target.

However, she admitted that the task they carried out was very difficult because it was related to the livelihood of many people.

"This is heavy, it's a heavy task. I entrust it, let's start now, we are professionals, we can't play games. I am the same way, I have told the President if I can't afford it, I will resign", Risma said in a video on YouTube Linjamsos, Wednesday, October 13, 2021.
