JAKARTA - Candidate for Governor of Jakarta number 3, Pramono Anung responded to one of the social assistance distribution programs prepared by the candidate pair Ridwan Kamil-Suswono, namely "Kamu Card".

The idea of "Your Card" was expressed by RK in the closing statement in the inaugural debate of the candidate pair for Governor-Deputy Governor of Jakarta.

According to Pramono, currently the DKI Provincial Government already has the types of social assistance program cards for various groups of people.

"Actually, there are too many cards, yes. There are (cards) for the elderly, KJP (Jakartu Jakarta Pintar), health cards, various kinds, even for PKH (Family Hope Program)," said Pramono in Kedoya, West Jakarta, Monday, October 7th.

Moreover, the former Cabinet Secretary assessed that the things that need to be improved in the distribution of social assistance are data collection and verification. Because, it is necessary so that the budget allocated can be more targeted.

"I'm afraid that too many cards won't be accepted. Because the size or volume to use is social in the regional income budget, it's not too big either. So, it must be realistic in my opinion," explained Pramono.

Previously, the candidate pair for governor and deputy governor of DKI Jakarta number 1, Ridwan Kamil-Suswono, would prepare a Jakarta Maju Card (Kamu Card) if elected in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada.

"But most of the cards are held by each of them. So we have enough digital advances, the name is 'Katu Kamu', "Ka'nya is from Jakarta'mu'nya Maju," said Ridwan Kamil when delivering his closing speech on the Jakarta Pilkada debate at the Jakarta International Expo (JIExpo), Kemayoran, Central Jakarta, Sunday, October 6.

The former Governor of West Java explained that in this card, at least seven groups will benefit.

"Including transportation, we added, earlier our orphans and vests were also free, Transjakarta, Jak Lingko, to LRT, MRT was also carried out," he said.

Not only that, programs that have gone well in the era of Governor Ali Sadikin to Anies Baswedan will be continued. Including, several cards such as the Jakarta Smart Card (KJP).

"One of the values inherited from my mother is that leaders must be fair and not revenge. So in the good past we will maintain all good programs from Pak Ali Sadikin, Pak Sutiyoso, Pak Jokowi, Pak Foke (Fauzi Bowo), Pak Ahok (Basuki T Purnama), including Pak Anies we will maintain," he explained.

In addition, RK said that several examples of good cards about education about health, children with disabilities and others that already exist will be maintained.

"We only added two stories from residents, one was a house of worship service card, the other was a card for Jakarta orphans (Katu Kamu)," he added.
