JAKARTA - Head of the West Jakarta Social Service Sub-dept. Mursidin ensured that 400,293 Beneficiary Families (KPM) received Cash Social Assistance (BST) which was distributed starting today.

The social assistance, said Mursidin, came from the Ministry of Social Affairs and the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government.

"From the Ministry of Social Affairs in West Jakarta, the number is 326,345 KPM. From DKI there are 73,948 KPM. The total is 400,293 KPM", said Mursidin in Jakarta, quoted by Antara, Monday, July 19.

Later, assistance from the Ministry of Social Affairs will be sent through PT Pos as the party that cooperates with the central government.

Meanwhile, the assistance from the DKI Provincial Government will be sent to a DKI Bank account for IDR 300,000 for the period of July and August.

Not only that, but BST recipients will also receive 10 kilograms of rice from the central government and the DKI Provincial Government.

"Each KPM receives 10 kilograms. So the distribution goes hand in hand", said Mursidin.

Mursidin hopes that the assistance from the central government and the DKI Provincial Government can be right on target and help the residents' economy during the Implementation of the Emergency Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM).
