JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan reviewed the implementation of a cheap food program for 1.1 million recipients held by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government. This subsidized cheap food has been running from January to December.Anies said, this program is expected to help ease the burden on the community. Considering that currently there is considerable economic pressure due to the increase in fuel oil prices (BBM)."Hopefully with programs like this, people's groups in Jakarta who have low purchasing power can reduce their lives well. Because the government is here to help ease their burdens," said Anies at Cipinang Kebembem Market, East Jakarta, Thursday, September 22.Anies said the government conducts more than half the price in this cheap food program. This cheap food package consists of rice, chicken meat, beef, chicken eggs, fish, and milk."People buy outside the value of Rp. 402,000. But they only pay through this program Rp. 126,000. So the subsidy is almost 70 percent,” said Anies.The target recipients of this cheap food include Jakarta Smart Card holders, Jakarta Elderly Cards, people with disabilities, residents of flats, honorary teachers, workers, PKK cadres, and street vendors.In addition, Governor Anies revealed that 3 regionally-owned enterprises (BUMD) of DKI Jakarta also play an important role in the stabilization of food prices in Jakarta.
