NTB - The government will distribute electricity rice feeders or rice cookers to the community. The local government supports the program which is planned to be realized in 2023. One of them is the Mataram City Government (Pemkot).

Assistant I for Government Administration and People's Welfare of the Mataram City Secretariat Lalu Martawang said the program could increase the efficiency of gas use to switch to electricity.

"In this case, the Mataram City Government is adaptive to the policies issued by the central government and during that time for the benefit of the community we appreciate and are ready to support," he said in Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), Thursday, December 15, confiscated by Antara.

The government plans to provide rice cooker assistance to 680 thousand families, with criteria including households with a power of 450 or 900 VA, and 3 kilograms of LPG users.

Martawang said, after the rice cooker assistance was provided, the government also needed to prepare the availability of electricity.

"Don't let people feel comfortable using a limited electrical rice cooker," he added.

Regarding the determination of the target, Martawang said the Mataram City Government would certainly wait for further information from the central government. Including the technical distribution of the aid, whether in the form of cash or directly in the form of an electric rice cooker.

If the government wants to provide this assistance to people who have entered the integrated social welfare data (DTKS), of course the Social Service (Dinsos) will immediately prepare the required data.

"We hope that the government can provide this assistance to people in need. Do not let the recipients of aid be inappropriate," he said.

Based on data from the Mataram City Social Service, the last number of Mataram DTKS was recorded at around 75 thousand families or 200,011 people.
