DEPOK - JNE's attorney, Anthony Jono, confirmed that the rice buried in Depok, West Java was not social assistance rice from the president.

"After the rice was taken from the Bulog warehouse, on the way it rained. So it's usually wet, there is mold, it's not fit for consumption," said Anthony at the location where the rice was buried in Depok, West Java, as reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, August 3.

According to him, it is impossible for damaged rice to be distributed to the community. "It is impossible for us to give the damaged rice to the beneficiaries," he said.

"So we are responsible, we replace all the damaged rice. Are there any beneficiary complaints? To this day there are none. We have replaced everything. So there is no loss at all," he said.

Anthony said when it was taken from the Bulog warehouse, of course there was a sticker. Because it was originally intended to be distributed social assistance.

"But it was damaged on the way. When it was damaged, of course we moved it to the warehouse, we replaced it again," he said.

"We have replaced everything that was damaged and well documented," he said.
