JAKARTA - The Presidential Palace opened the details of President Prabowo Subianto's sacrificial cow assistance for Iduladha 1447 Hijriah. This year, as many as 1,098 cows will be distributed to regions, pesantren, religious institutions, community leaders, and religious leaders.
Deputy Minister of State Secretary Juri Ardiantoro said the aid budget came from the state budget through the President's community assistance post. The value is around Rp. 100 billion.
"The budget source is from the state budget, through the President's assistance budget, the President's community assistance," Juri said at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, Tuesday, May 26.
According to Juri, the price of cattle is not uniform. Weight and location also determine the purchase value. Therefore, the government adjusts the price to the conditions of each region.
Of the total 1,098 cows, 598 were sent to the local government. The recipients include 38 provinces and 514 regencies/cities. The number of cows is more than the number of regions because 46 regions do not have cows with the President's weight standard.
The standard is not small. The palace sets the weight of the President's sacrificial cow between 800 kilograms and 1.3 tons. For areas that do not have cows that big, assistance is given in the form of two cows.
"Each region will get one, while there are 46 regions that do not have cows with that weight. Therefore, some get two cows," said Juri.
In addition to the regions, the President also prepared 500 cows for educational institutions, pesantren, social institutions, religious institutions, religious figures, and community leaders.
The palace said all the cows had met health and sharia requirements. Cows over two years old, male, not disabled, and have animal health certificates.
The types of cows prepared include Simental, Limosin, Peranakan Ongole, Brahman, Angus, Bali Cows, FH, Belgian Blue, and Charolaise.
For the Istiqlal Mosque, the President prepared one Simental type cow weighing 1.3 tons.
The jury said the President gave instructions that sacrificial meat be distributed to people in need in their respective areas. Distribution is carried out through local governments, institutions, or trusted figures.
