JAKARTA - The Surabaya City Social Service ensured that there was no intention of unilaterally deleting the data of the poor without any basis for proposals from RT/RW, kelurahan or sub-districts.
"This data on poor families and pre-poor and nearly poor data is also the basis for the intervention of all regional apparatus within the Surabaya City Government," said Head of the Surabaya City Social Service (Dinsos) Anna Fajriatin in Surabaya, Saturday, January 21, as reported by Antara.
The sub-district heads and village heads, he continued, can directly access their data through food applications.
"Furthermore, they can see the history of Surabaya residents, who received assistance. So, the sub-district and village heads know how to solve it properly," said Anna.
The statement from the Head of Social Affairs was made after the Social Service conducted a re-check of the residents of Jalan Tambak Adi 12B Surabaya who were suspected of not getting food or food assistance. Based on data from the poor people owned by the city government, the name Tjeng Kim Nio was not registered.
Anna explained that when examined based on the population identification number (NIK) in the poor database, the name did not appear. Then a further check at the Tambakrejo Village office, Simokerto District, it turns out that the name was only proposed to receive food assistance as of January 17, 2023.
"When the proposal was submitted to the Social Service Office and that was indeed the criteria were not poor, not categorized as poor. It does not mean that we remove the person concerned from the data of the poor, but is not in that category," said Anna.
He continued, in accordance with the rules, residents who are entitled to receive food social assistance (bansos) are residents with criteria for poor, vulnerable to poverty, and almost poor (pre-poor) in the elderly category (elderly), people with disabilities, and orphans.
"In this case, we did not issue it, but the person concerned was not included in the criteria. It does not mean that the person concerned did not get food due to data deletion. After all, the person concerned never entered the initial MBR database," he said.
