Residents report about PKH funding cuts at the Probolinggo Police Headquarters/IST

PROBOLINGGO - Six residents of Randuputih Village, Dringu District, Probolinggo Regency, East Java came to the Probolinggo Police Station. They complained to the head of a group in their village for allegedly cutting off the Family Hope Program (PKH) aid fund.

Husnawiyah, one of the residents, said that the PKH funding cut by the village group leader had been going on since 2020. However, he and 5 other people only found out about it now.

Residents only found out about the deduction after receiving a copy of the print out from the bank regarding the amount of funds in the ATM that did not match the amount they received.

"Every disbursement I should have received Rp 975 thousand, but only Rp 700 thousand, sometimes I get Rp 800 thousand," said Husnawiyah, Thursday, October 7.

The PKH ATM obtained was indeed held by himself. However, when it was close to disbursement, the card was taken by the group leader, and then disbursed.

"With this report, we hope that the police can investigate this case, down to its roots," he hoped.

The complaint was confirmed by the Probolinggo Police Public Relations Officer Bripka Mukhtar Yuliaharto.

"Yes, there is indeed a complaint, we have received it. We will convey the progress later," he said.

Meanwhile, the PKH Coordinator at the Social Service (Dinsos) of Probolinggo Regency, Fathurrozi Amien, said that the case had previously been mediated with related parties. At that time, residents had accepted that it would be resolved amicably.

"If it's now reported to the police, it's okay, that's their right. Let this be the police's shutter. But we emphasize that we are not involved," he explained.
