CIANJUR - Regent of Cianjur Regency, West Java, Herman Suherman, ensured that all victims of the Cianjur earthquake received assistance according to the damage whose funds were directly from the central government to the recipient's account not through the local government. "It is not true that the funds went to the Cianjur Regency Government first, because the assistance from the center went directly to the beneficiary's account. So it was impossible for us in the area to hold aid money for earthquake victims," he said, quoted by ANTARA, Friday, March 10. He explained that the local government should encourage the disbursement of aid for earthquake victims to rebuild their homes, to be immediately accepted and residents no longer live in refugee tents, but the procedure was gradually changed. According to him, the disbursement pattern was changed, which was originally 30 percent to 40 percent and the second stage became 50 percent and the third stage was 10 percent for recipients of house assistance was heavily damaged, including houses damaged, while and lightly. "Residents can choose construction independently, through applicators or built by the TNI, so that there is no coercion in the rebuilding of houses damaged due to the earthquake. We hope that residents will immediately rebuild their homes after assistance is included in the account," he said.

For development through applicators, he said, make sure it's not a shadow broker or applicator that can harm residents because in Cianjur there are only four official applicators, Rumbako, Domus, Riksa and Risha. "Meanwhile, residents who are building independently, we remind them to make image documentation so that during the examination of the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) there is evidence of construction from the beginning until they return to being established as houses," said Herman Suherman.
