The Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) faction wrote to Perumda Pasar Jaya to ask for clarification regarding the findings of damaged and unfit rice in one of the warehouses in Pulogadung some time ago.

Reporting from Antara, the PSI faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD asked the President Director of Pasar Jaya, Tri Prasetyo, to provide clarification regarding the issue because there were public complaints about the issues mentioned related to social assistance.

"Through this letter, we PSI faction want to convey and follow up on public complaints specifically for requests to explain the findings of indications of piles of 1,000 tons of rice which are suspected to be part of the COVID-19 social assistance package for the 2020 fiscal year, which was found at the Perumda Pasar Jaya rental warehouse in Pulogadung," the letter wrote, Thursday, January 19.

In the letter signed by Anggara Wicitra Sastroamidjojo (chairman) and William Aditya Sarana (secretary), the PSI faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD asked Perumda Pasar Jaya and also the Regional Apparatus Work Unit (SKPD) or related agencies to provide clarification considering that Pasar Jaya is a partner of the DKI Provincial Government in distributing food packages for COVID-19 social assistance for the 2020 fiscal year.

The clarification requested by Perumda Pasar Jaya and related SKPD, is to explain whether the findings of 1,000 tons of damaged rice found in a rental warehouse in Pulogadung are really part of the COVID-19 social assistance package for the 2020 fiscal year or not.

Then, the PSI faction also asked Perumda Pasar Jaya and related SKPD to explain if the findings of the rice in question were part of the COVID-19 social assistance package for the 2020 fiscal year, why could there be a buildup of 1,000 tons of rice in question, so there are indications that rice should not be distributed for social assistance to people affected by COVID-19.

"We hope that with this letter, Perumda Jaya can immediately provide clarification and explanation of this issue seriously because it has caused unrest in the community," the letter wrote.

The PSI faction also wrote that they opened the opportunity to be contacted and responded with Perumda Pasar Jaya and related SKPD regarding this matter through the address of the faction's electronic [email protected].
