ACEH - President Prabowo subianto allocates IDR 4 billion per district/city in disaster-affected areas in Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra for the needs of residents, especially infants and women.
The decision was taken after the Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian reported that the unexpected expenditure budget (BTT) in 52 districts/cities of three provinces affected by the disaster, namely Aceh, West Sumatra, and North Sumatra, was in a thin condition because it was the end of the year.
This was revealed when President Prabowo gave directions at the Aceh Natural Disaster Management National Assistance Post located at the Sultan Iskandar Muda Air Force Base, Aceh Besar, on Sunday, December 7.
In a dialogue with the President in Aceh, the Minister of Home Affairs explained that even though the central government has sent large-scale food, fuel, and rice assistance, the area still lacks funds for urgent needs that are immediately needed by people in evacuation areas such as baby diapers and sanitary napkins, which are usually requested by residents to district/city governments.
In the dialogue, the Minister of Home Affairs also reported that many sub-district offices and village offices were severely damaged. This condition has the potential to hinder public services and cause many public documents to disappear, ranging from ID cards, diplomas, certificates, to vehicle documents.
Tito suggested that the costs for re-managing the documents be abolished. Closing the meeting, President Prabowo gave encouragement to the regents present.
