KENDARI - The Kendari City Social Service (Dinsos) asked 75 Civil Servants (PNS) and Government Employees with Work Agreements (PPPK) to return the social assistance (bansos) they received. Head of the Handling of the Poor, Social Service Office of Kendari City, Sulkurnih, said that 75 civil servants and PPPK received social assistance in Kendari City. "It was divided into 51 recipients of non-cash Food Assistance (BPNT) and 24 people were recipients of the Family Hope Program (PKH)," he said in Kendari, Antara, Thursday, February 9. He said the 75 civil servants and PPPK were spread across 33 urban villages from 65 urban villages in Kendari City. Sulkurniah revealed that the social assistance was received by civil servants and PPPK because his party was still using the old data in 2022. The amount of the return on social assistance, he continued, varied from RP600 thousand to Rp3 million. “ Some are RP 600 thousand, some are more than Rp1 million, some even Rp3 million,” he said. He conveyed that the refund was immediately ordered by the Indonesian Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos) through the Indonesian Ministry of Finance's Online PNBP Information System (SYMPONI) application. Even so, he said there would be no sanctions against civil servants and PPPK who received the social assistance if they did not return the assistance. " “ There is no such explanation yet (sanctions) from the center and whether they can return it in its entirety or in installments there is no explanation yet. So we only convey, "” he said. Sulkuriah explained that the civil servants and PPPK received social assistance because the old data was still used, before they were appointed as civil servants and PPPK. "We estimate it will be old data, before they become civil servants. It seems they were appointed in mid-2022,” he said.
