Gorontalo Governor Asks PKH Facilitators to Forgive Social Minister

GORONTALO CITY, Kominfo – Gorontalo Governor Rusli Habibie asked the Family Hope Program (PKH) assistant Fajar Sidik Napu to forgive Social Minister Tri Rismaharini. Governor Rusli invited Fajar to his private residence in Moodu Village, Gorontalo City, Sunday (3/10/2021).

On that occasion, Rusli listened to the clarification from Fajar’s side, who was the victim of Risma’s angry actions. Rusli also encouraged him and his PKH companions to remain sincere and sincere in working with residents.

“So Mr. Fajar, maybe the minister’s mother at that time was tired so she could be upset. I apologize to the minister and forgive me too. This is just a miscommunication between us,” said Governor Rusli.

Rusli admitted that he had received a private WhatsApp from Social Minister Risma. The message was sent to his wife, Idah Syahidah, who is also a member of Commission VIII of the Indonesian House of Representatives.

“As a governor, I also apologize to the Minister, if there is a sentence, my attitude that offends the Minister, please forgive me,” he pleaded.

Governor Rusli said he did not want to prolong this problem. Everyone is asked to react wisely. Rusli admits that he loves Social Minister Risma, he just doesn’t want Risma’s frequent angry attitude to continue in other areas.

“I’m afraid that the Minister will meet with people who are less intelligent, we say the axis is short or what, the Minister will be attacked back. that’s what we do not want. Hopefully this is the first and the last,” he added.

Rusli hopes that this problem will end. He made sure that what he was doing was a form of responsibility as governor, just as Ibu Risma came as a minister. It has nothing to do with politics or any political party.

“So it’s clean and clear, this is just a miscommunication. So don’t turn it into a political opinion. No relationship at all. I speak as governor, Mr. Fajar as coordinator, Mrs. Risma came not as a party cadre but as Minister of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia,” he said.

Fajar Napu Clarification, PKH Facilitator

In front of Governor Rusli, Fajar admitted that he had forgiven Social Minister Risma. He considered the Social Minister’s attitude as a form of a mother’s concern for her children.

“Some of the media also asked me, do I mind yesterday’s actions? I replied that it was impossible for me to scold my parents who scolded me, because for me it was part of our education,” he explained.

Fajar explained the origin of the problem that occurred at that time. At that time, he said, there were 26 names of PKH recipients who were questioned by the village head as to why the money had not yet arrived.

Fajar explained that the names had not been included in the SP2D (Fund Disbursement Order) list which was the domain of the Ministry of Social Affairs.

“Next I will explain because there is currently a data matching process, so it is indicated that this KPM has been deactivated from the DTKS (Social Welfare Integrated Data),” explained Fajar.

Receiving the explanation, Risma asked the ministry staff who answered that the data was available. Likewise with the answer of the bank in charge of disbursing funds.

“The bank said it was in the transaction process. Hearing this, the minister immediately stood up to me. Even though the bank’s intention was that the transaction for the BPNT (Non-Cash Food Assistance) program was not the recipient of the PKH that the minister had intended,” he continued.

After the incident, Fajar had clarified to the minister. He explained that the list of 26 names was still in the e-pkh application. Most of them are recipients of the expansion (new PKH addition) in 2021.

“The names that have not been included in the money are the expanded PKH whose data collection was carried out in January and activated between June and July 2021,” he added.

As the coordinator of PKH, he is committed to working in accordance with the SIP principles, namely courtesy, integrity and professionalism. It never deletes and adds data at will. The data is stored in the Ministry of Social Affairs.
