PAPUA - The Papua Provincial Government (Pemprov) said President Prabowo Subianto distributed 13 sacrificial cows to people in nine regencies and cities with a minimum weight of 800 kilograms.

Assistant for the Economy and Development of the Papua Provincial Secretariat, Setyo Wahyudi, said the animals were handed over to celebrate Eid al-Adha 1446 Hijriah.

This year's Presidential Assistance is different from previous years and for the same distribution scheme, where local cattle were taken, he said in Jayapura, Friday, May 23, were confiscated by Antara.

According to Setyo, the assistance of sacrificial animals is not only for provinces, but also for districts and cities with each receiving one cow weighing at least 800 kilograms.

"If the cow with the weight is not found, it is allowed to be replaced by two cows like what happened in Mamberamo Raya Regency," he said.

He explained that of the total 13 cows, one of them was allocated to the Papua Provincial Government and the other for Jayapura City. Both will be distributed to two different mosques.

"For the province, it will be handed over to one of the mosques in the Hamadi area while Jayapura City is handed over to the Baiturrahim Grand Mosque," he said.

He added that apart from the President, the Papua Provincial Government has also prepared assistance for sacrificial animals separately. However, the number is less than last year due to budget efficiency.

All sacrificial cows have gone through a health check from the relevant agencies before being distributed. The slaughter will be held on Eid al-Adha," he said
