Akhmad Saeful Bakhri assessed that the team formed through the Bogor Mayor's Decree did not show maximum performance, where the team was only formed without any performance reports and submission of performance results.

There have never been any performance reports and achievements. This team was solely formed and then creating (quiet)," said the chairman of Commission IV of the Bogor City DPRD.

Dari hasil rapat dan evaluasi yang dilakukan oleh Komisi IV DPRD Kota Bogor selama satu tahun ini. penanggulangan kemiskinan di Kota Bogor belum menunjukkan hasil positif.

Because based on data from BPS Bogor City, the poverty rate in Bogor City is at 7.10 percent or with a total of 79.2 thousand poor people. This number has increased when compared to 2020 where the number of poor people is 75 thousand people.

Gus M, as he is known, asked the Bogor City Government to immediately implement a family-based integrated social assistance program through the Social Service. The presence of the SOLID application should make it easier for the Bogor City Government to collect data and distribute aid for the poor.

"Therefore, we hope that the new Head of the Social Service will be able to map and update the DTKS data continuously, because this poverty is very dynamic," said Gus M.

In addition, Gus M, also highlighted the euphoria of the end of the mayor's term with plans to inaugurate lighthouse and branding projects about the success of leadership not directly proportional to the real conditions in society.

Furthermore, he said that there should be no justification, that the Bogor city budget is not pro for the health of its citizens because it is more concerned with the physical achievements of infrastructure alone.

Even Unloading Officials, especially at the Bogor City Social Service, implies that the government is not focused and serious in handling social problems in Bogor City
