“Lie dong, slander people claiming to hoard presidential aid even though his goal is to fight for his land. JNE has become a victim of slander. JNE has never hoarded rice,” said Hotman.
“If the goal is to hoard to get profit, then it is spilled,” he added.
On that occasion, Hotman Paris also had time to show a video when JNE officers poured social assistance (bansos) rice into the hole which was then tightly closed. Hotman said the rice was in a damaged condition.
“Here, we have a video, we see that most of the rice is spilled, poured out. At the time of disposal, almost all of the rice in the sacks was spilled into the ground,” said Hotman explaining the video of the bansos rice disposal during a press conference.
“It was only after that it was closed, meaning that the rice was thrown away not to be sold again. Not to be hidden,” he continued.
Hotman said the social assistance rice received by JNE to be distributed to the community weighed 6,199 tons. The plan is that the rice will be handed over to 247,997 beneficiary families (KPM) in Depok.
