JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan stated that the dual data problem that caused delays in the distribution of Cash Social Assistance (BST) had been resolved. This is because the Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos) has provided data for Jakarta residents who have not received assistance.

"It's done, it's (completed). The Ministry of Social Affairs has given us the data, ones that need to be provided by DKI, while the other one has been provided by the Ministry of Social Affairs," Anies said in a live interview on his Instagram account, Friday, August 13, evening.

In addition, after the problem was resolved, the distribution of BST was immediately carried out and was completed last week. On the other hand, Anies stated that in providing assistance one must be very careful.

Because, in the current pandemic conditions, many people are affected and need help so that distribution must be done properly. Do not let there be multiple recipients of assistance which will lead to unequal distribution.

"When we want to share, we have to make sure that those who receive it are on the right list," said Anies.

With this problem, Anies did not deny the occurrence of delays. However, it is emphasized that all BST has been distributed to people in need.

"Yes, of course, they received it later because they were waiting for confirmation, but they have all received it," said Anies.

Previously, it was reported that 99 thousand DKI residents had not received the distribution of BST because the dual data matching of beneficiaries had not been resolved between the DKI Provincial Government and the Ministry of Social Affairs.

It is known that the DKI Provincial Government is still holding BST stages 5 and 6 to 99,450 KPM until now. From 1,007,379 targets, DKI has only distributed BST to 907,616 KPM.

Head of the DKI Social Service, Premi Lasari, explained that the reason the Provincial Government withheld the distribution of BST was because nearly 100 thousand KPMs were registered in the targets of the two distributors, namely the DKI Provincial Government and the Ministry of Social Affairs.
