JATIM - An underprivileged resident in Tulungagung Regency admitted that he had never received non-cash food assistance (BPNT) from the government even though his name was included in the list of beneficiaries.
"I only found out that my name was on the list of beneficiaries after being asked by the head of the RT to check at the kelurahan office. And it turns out that (my name) does exist and is registered at number 229," said Sukatmi, the wife of a private hospital volunteer from Bago Village, Tulungagung District, East Java, Thursday 25 August.
Sukatmi had tried to take the right to the aid to the shop that was appointed as the BPNT distributor in his village. However, it failed because the contents of the aid account had been taken by someone else with the same name, but in a different neighborhood.
"He said the account had been taken. It has been used repeatedly for transactions for a long time," he continued.
According to Sukatmi, the assistance was enjoyed by another person with the same name in another RT.
He also expressed his wonder how the aid was disbursed. Because to his knowledge, for the disbursement of aid must use an ID card for verification.
Responding to this, based on Antara's report, the Head of Bago Village, Tulungagung District, Agung Sutrimo stated that his party had reported the incident to Tulungagung District.
"We are still waiting for the results from the bank," said Joko.
Meanwhile, the Tulungagung District Social Welfare (TKSK) team, Joko Supeno, said that there was an overlapping account between the two residents with identical names (Sukatmi).
According to him, Sukatmi, who should have received the assistance, was only registered as a recipient of aid in 2021.
However, if you refer to the data on Sukatmi's red and white card, it is listed as valid since 2018. "The card was issued in 2018," said Joko.
He also claimed that his party did not try to cover up this problem until everything was clearly revealed.
