JAKARTA - The Governor of West Java, Ridwan Kamil, said that his party allocated a regional revenue and expenditure budget (APBD) of Rp110 billion to reduce the inflation rate in West Java.
The budget insertion is to fulfill President Joko Widodo's (Jokowi) instructions regarding the handling of the impact of the increase in subsidized fuel oil prices (BBM) in early September.
Furthermore, Emil, Ridwan Kamil's nickname, explained that the budget was used by the provincial government to finance food distribution transportation.
The goal is that the price of food imported from other regions does not increase significantly.
"In West Java, there are around Rp. 110 billion. There are those who pay for commodity transportation, so that if the import of fish or eggs is not expensive, we will pay the cost so that the price to the market becomes cheaper," he told reporters quoted on Tuesday, October 4.
Not only providing direct cash assistance (BLT) for the poor who do not receive a share of the central government or local government program. This step is an effort so that the assistance received by the community is wider.
"(The data on the BLT recipients) is separated, so there is no redundant with the central government, between the central funds to the regions," he explained.
The amount of BLT given is around Rp. 600,000 per beneficiary. Emil said, assistance was given to fishermen, farmers and the community who had not received assistance from the government.
"If I (the West Java Provincial Government) fill in what has not yet been done, fishermen, farmers and others," he said.
