JAKARTA - Tri Rismaharini (Risma) is in the spotlight because of her blusukan action in the capital city as social minister. Risma actively visited people who lived under the bridge and also met homeless people in the Sudirman-MH Thamrin area.

Risma's blusukan action received various responses, PKS was one of them. What the public needs to wait for PKS is Risma's blusukan to every region in Indonesia.

"First, of course, all ministers who work need to be appreciated. Mrs. Risma if it is good. And because he is the Minister of Social Affairs for all of the Republic of Indonesia, we are waiting for his blusukan action in other provinces or regions," said the Chairman of DPP PKS, Mardani Ali Sera, contacted by VOI.

According to Mardani, it would be unfair if the composition of Risma's blusukan was only focused on Jakarta. As a large country, similar actions also need to be carried out in other regions. However, this member of Commission II of the DPR is sure that Risma will work in other areas.

"So it's not fair if most of them are in Jakarta. But I am sure that I will go to other areas as well. Give all ministers a chance, only 100 working days, then we will value it together," explained Mardani.

Well it turns out that the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan posted a photo of Social Minister Risma on his Instagram account aniesbaswedan. Through his post, Anies talked about the collaboration between the DKI Provincial Government and the central government.

"The government is here to ease the burden on families who have been severely affected by the pandemic crisis through various social assistance," said Anies as quoted by VOI, Wednesday, January 6.

According to him, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government is collaborating with the central government in distributing social assistance to reduce the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Central Government provides three types of assistance programs in the form of the Family Hope Program (PKH), the Groceries / Non-Cash Food Assistance Program (BPNT), and Cash Social Assistance (BST).

"The distribution of social assistance throughout Indonesia was carried out symbolically by the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, at the State Palace, and was attended by virtually all Governors from 34 Provinces in Indonesia, this morning," continued Anies.

Anies hopes that this social assistance can be used wisely and appropriately. Its use is prioritized for the whole family.

In his explanation, Anies explained the process of distributing types of social assistance in collaboration with the central government:

First, the Family Hope Program (PKH), which will be distributed through a BNI account. PKH assistance will be distributed in 4 stages, namely in January, April, July and October 2021.

Meanwhile, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government also has similar assistance sourced from the APBD in the form of Jakarta Smart Card (KJP), Jakarta Disability Card (KPDJ), Jakarta Elderly Card (KLJ), and APBD Health Insurance Contribution Recipients.

Then for the Basic Food Program / BPNT (Non-Cash Food Assistance), KPM will receive assistance worth IDR 200,000 per month per family. The assistance will be distributed through BNI, from January to December 2021 to be spent in e-warongs.

"Especially for Jabodetabek residents who initially received basic food assistance, starting in 2021, they will no longer receive the same assistance and will be replaced with Cash Social Assistance (BST). Each recipient of cash social assistance will get Rp. 300,000, - which is given for 4 consecutive months, starting from January to April 2021, "said Anies.
