FAJAR.CO.ID, JAKARTA—Presidential candidate number 3, Ganjar Pranowo, emphasized that he would continue, even increase social assistance (bansos) to poor people, when he was elected President of the Republic of Indonesia (RI). Ganjar Pranowo, who is paired with Mahfud MD, stated that the social assistance scheme for poor people would be more targeted with one card: KTP Sakti.
Ganjar’s assertion refutes false news or hoaxes which say that candidate pair number 03 will abolish social assistance when elected in the 2024 presidential election. Instead of abolishing it, Ganjar-Mahfud will actually increase the value of social assistance and make it easier for people to take it with a Sakti KTP.
“The public needs to know that social assistance is their right, all that remains is to improve its distribution, so that later it won’t be a hassle anymore. Just by using the Sakti KTP, later we will be able to manage all programs easily and on target,” he said.
He said that all government programs for the poor that currently exist, starting from the Prosperous Family Card, Family Hope Program Card, Cheap Basic Food Card, Healthy Indonesia Card, Smart Indonesia Card, Smart Indonesia College Card, Pre-Employment Card and Prosperous Rice Card, will take care of it later. will be made easier.
“There is no need to save cards from these programs one by one anymore. That way, there will be no more incidents where our relatives don’t get help, because their cards are lost or lost. So what about many of our brothers and sisters who are still not registered and cannot get it?” he said.
