JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan through the DKI Social Service has submitted a grant budget to several agencies and institutions in the 2022 APBD Draft.

In the spotlight, there is one institution, the Yayasan Bunda Pintar Indonesia (BPI) Foundation which received grants of up to IDR 900 million. The nominal award for this grant is the second highest after the DKI Provincial Youth Organization grant of IDR 1 billion.

In the document receiving grants from the DKI RAPBD (Budget Draft) received by VOI, the name of the activity stated in the document is "empowerment of potential sources of provincial social welfare".

The name of the account in the document is written "expenditure of money grants to non-profit, voluntary, and social agencies and institutions that already have a registered certificate".

Meanwhile, when compared to several other non-profit foundations included in the Social Service budget, on average they only receive grants of between IDR 25 million to IDR 50 million.

When traced, the Bunda Pintar Indonesia Foundation was fostered by the Deputy Chair of the DKI Regional House of Representatives from the PAN faction, Zita Anjani. Zita is the daughter of the General Chairman of PAN, Zulkifli Hasan.

VOI tried to ask Zita for confirmation regarding the nominal amount of the grant. However, until this article was written, there has been no response from Zita.
