Jakarta –
Four ministers of the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet have provided inside information trial for dispute over the results of the 2024 presidential election at the Constitutional Court (MK). Chairman of the Prabowo-Gibran Legal Team, Yusril Ihza Mahendrabelieves that the ministers’ statements regarding social assistance further confirm that there will be no misuse of social assistance in the 2024 elections.
“Today it is very clear that the Minister of Finance, the Coordinating Minister and the Minister of Social Affairs have stated that there is no misuse of social assistance which has been stated and argued by the two applicants at the trial,” said Yusril during a press conference after the trial at the MKRI building, Jakarta, Friday (5/4/2024) .
Yusril said that the Minister of Social Affairs, Tri Rismaharini, in his presentation at the trial emphasized that there was no provision of social assistance in the form of rice. All are given in the form of direct assistance and transferred via bank.
“Mrs. Risma firmly stated that there was nothing at all in the form of goods, rice, nothing at all,” he said.
“So what has been postulated as abuse of social assistance has been denied by Mrs. Risma herself,” he continued.
Yusril also emphasized that the increase in the amount of coincident social assistance carried out in the period leading up to the 2024 election was not proven.
“Similarly, the multiple increase in the amount of social assistance was not proven at this trial and was denied by the Minister of Finance, the Coordinating Minister for the Economy and the Minister of Social Affairs,” he said.
But he admitted that there was indeed new aid being disbursed because of the need, namely social assistance related to El Nino. However, the period is not before the election.
“Only regarding the issue of assistance related to El Nino, there is an automatic adjustment, that is acknowledged. And the Minister of Social Affairs said that this was a request from the cabinet and a meeting was held with Commission VIII of the DPR,” he said.
He said there was an increase of up to IDR 50 trillion from the funds provided for El Nino. But the timeline does not coincide with the election period.
“So all of that really ends in November 2023, there will be no distribution of El Nino social assistance funds,” concluded Yusril.
