BOGOR- The finding of rotten eggs in the social assistance package (bansos) received by residents in Bogor Regency caused a stir. The finding, which was deemed embarrassing, prompted the chairman of the Bogor Regency DPRD, Rudy Susmanto, to encourage law enforcement officials to investigate.
"BPNT (non-cash food aid) containing basic food items is inadequate. We ask for this so that the authorities will investigate whether there was an element of negligence or intentionality," said Rudy Susmanto in Cibinong, Bogor Regency, West Java, Tuesday, February 1.
According to him, law enforcement officers must take firm action if there is an intentional factor from the food supply provider, especially if it is done with the aim of getting bigger profits.
"So, the legal apparatus must act decisively and process this problem because it is related to the livelihood of many people, especially the underprivileged," he said, as quoted by Antara.
However, if the results of the investigation prove that there was an accident, said Rudy, the social assistance provider must immediately replace food ingredients that are considered unfit for consumption.
The Gerindra Party politician also reminded anyone not to play with the system of procuring social assistance for the underprivileged in their area.
He said that the BPNT was only worth Rp. 200 thousand in the form of basic food packages. This amount is not enough to meet the people's needs for a full month.
"So, don't try to cheat because you will be faced with not only state law, but also God's law," said Rudy.
