JAKARTA - Minister of Social Affairs (Mensos) Saifullah Yusuf explained that the reason for the National Sole and Economic Data (DTSEN) often changes is because the data used is very dynamic, so it requires periodic updating.

"Data is basically dynamic, every day someone is born, every day someone dies, every day someone gets married, every day someone changes places. So it is necessary to continue updating," said Social Minister Saifullah Yusuf at a Working Meeting (Raker) with Commission VIII DPR RI in Jakarta, Monday 7 July, confiscated by Antara.

The Minister of Social Affairs emphasized that data updating that continues to be carried out at the same time opens up opportunities for community participation.

His party wants public participation in reporting invalid data, in addition to data collection carried out by the government in order to realize more transparent governance.

"What is the core of this data? This single data is to make all government programs right on target and accepted by those who are entitled," said the Minister of Social Affairs.

In an effort to update data, said the Minister of Social Affairs, his party also checked directly with the beneficiaries, totaling 12 million families.

Based on a search conducted by the Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos), he continued, there were around 1.9 million recipients of social assistance (bansos) who were declared unfit to receive social assistance anymore.

"Well, we have transferred 1.9 million who do not receive social assistance to those who are more entitled, those in Desil 1, 2, 3, and 4. So the budget allocation remains, only the targets are changed," said the Minister of Social Affairs.

Therefore, the Minister of Social Affairs ensures that the data changes are made in the context of updating, so that in the future his party has one more accurate integrated data so that the assistance distributed can be more targeted.
