NTT - East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Police Chief Inspector General Setyo Budiyanto said that until now his party had not found any misuse of direct cash assistance (BLT) from the transfer of fuel subsidies (BBM).

"The results of the Headquarters supervision are not available for the NTT region. Everything is distributed in accordance with the rightful party," said Inspector General of Police Setyo in Kupang, NTT, Monday, September 26.

However, a team from the NTT Regional Police continues to monitor the distribution of BLT in the island-based province to anticipate the occurrence of fuel abuse by certain individuals.

The Regional Office of the Directorate General of Treasury of NTT Province reported that as many as 429,421 families in NTT were recorded as recipients of BLT fuel.

Of that amount, the total value of the money disbursed reached Rp257.6 billion, all of which were intended for residents who could not afford the impact of the increase in fuel.

The government distributes BBM BLT worth IDR 150 thousand per family per month, for four months from September to December 2022.

BLT BBM is distributed in two stages through branch offices of PT Pos Indonesia.

Inspector General of Police Setyo also appealed to the BLT fuel fund manager to manage according to his designation so as not to fight the law.

"I urge you to manage it according to its designation. This means that the assistance provided is not misused to be managed," he said.
