Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Presidential Special Staff Coordinator Ari Dwipayana explained the Minister of Social Affairs’ reasons Tri Rismaharini did not join the President Jokowi when distributing social assistance recently.
Ari said that the ministries/institutions that Jokowi directly invited to distribute social assistance were those related to the social assistance program.
“Because it is related to food reserves, yes, there is Bulog and the Food Agency. So it is more about that, including checking the existence of food in each region. So those invited are of course related to that,” said Ari at the Ministry of State Secretariat Office, Central Jakarta, Monday ( 1/29).
Ari denied the opinion that Jokowi did not invite Risma because he was a PDIP cadre. He emphasized that there was no political element in the distribution of social assistance.
“No. Nothing [korelasi dengan] party status,” said Ari.
At the beginning of this year, social assistance was intensively distributed by President Jokowi’s government.
Several social assistance programs that will continue and be disbursed at the beginning of the year are rice, food aid and the Family Hope Program (PKH); Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT); Rice Social Assistance; to Farmer Compensation Assistance.
On this day, Jokowi also distributed social assistance at Mungkid Market, Magelang, Central Java.
Jokowi’s agenda is to check the prices of basic necessities and food in the market. On that occasion, he also distributed social assistance to traders.
