General Treasurer of the NasDem Party Ahmad Sahroni assessed that the problems arising from the revocation of the Jakarta Superior Student Card (KJMU) in many students were the responsibility of the Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono. The Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the DPR RI views that the revocation of the KJMU made Heru damage the good name of President Joko Widodo. Considering that Heru is the Acting Regional Head who is still the Head of the Presidential Secretariat (Kasetpres). "What Mr. Heru is doing is not in line with the spirit and direction of Mr. President Jokowi who is pro-people. Moreover, this is a matter of education. So, Mr. Heru has damaged Pak Jokowi's good name," said Sahroni in his statement, Thursday, March 6. The number of students who were dropped from KJMU recipients, considered Sahroni, resulted in greater inequality in access to education due to the threat of dropping out of college. In fact, Sahroni asked Jokowi to fire Heru and replace him with other officials for the remaining term of office of the Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta until the determination of the Governor of DKI was definitive. "So the President should immediately fire Acting Heru. There are many policies that are very extreme and clearly detrimental to the community," said Sahroni. Furthermore, Sahroni hopes that Heru will immediately resolve the problem by restoring the rights of the KJMU recipients. “ May Mr. Acting Heru's conscience fall. Return what is their right, said Sahroni. Previously, the Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono admitted that there was indeed a change in the data on KJMU recipients phase 1 of 2024 due to a new mechanism in the use of data sources. One of the data sources in question is the Integrated Social Welfare Data (DTKS) as of February and November 2022, as well as as as of January and December 2023 which were approved by the Ministry of Social Affairs. The synchronization of asset ownership data and vehicles is also included in the DTKS update. Then, the data is matched with data from the Socio-Economic Registration (Regsosek) issued by the Ministry of National Development Planning/National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas). "In DKI Jakarta, data can belinked at Bapenda (Regional Revenue Agency), vehicle data, home data, asset data. KJMU is for people who can't afford it for him to study, we give it," said Heru at DKI Jakarta City Hall. The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has finally reopened the registration for receiving KJMU assistance in the aftermath of the many complaints from underprivileged students which were crossed out from the list of recipients of social assistance for education costs. Assistant for People's Welfare of the Regional Secretariat of DKI Jakarta Province, Widyastuti, said that the registration was carried out through the website www.P4OP.jakarta.go.id/KJMU.

During the process of disclaiming data collection on KJMU recipients for the next month, students can also consult via the complaint channel number WhatsApp [phone], as well as telephone number 021-8571012. Complaints can also be made on the web kjp.jakarta.go.id. "In one month, a disclaimer period is opened, a mechanism for adjusting validation verification data. Please allow residents for younger students who have not (get information) clear, please access channels, the Education Office will certainly provide assistance," explained Widyastuti.
