This arrest was made due to allegations of corruption related to social assistance programs (bansos) in the management of the covid-19 pandemic.
KPK President Firli Bahuri said the corruption accusation specifically targeted the pledge-making officials (PPK) of the Ministry of Social Affairs. The KPK suspects that PPK has received gifts from welfare providers in the covid-19 pandemic management program.
“The alleged corruption of PPK has received gifts from suppliers for the acquisition of goods and services of social assistance in the Ministry of Social Affairs in the management of the Covid-19 pandemic,” Firli told CNNIndonesia.com, Saturday (5/12).
This is KPK’s first OTT for welfare-related officials in the covid-19 pandemic management program. However, the KPK has declared the potential for corruption in the distribution of social assistance several times in the era of the Covid-19 pandemic.
In May 2020, Firli explained several corruption-prone points in handling the Covid-19 pandemic. One of the hot spots lies in the implementation of social assistance disbursed by the central and local governments.
Later, KPK Vice President Lili Pintauli Siregar said her party had received 1,074 reports of public complaints about welfare during the Covid-19 pandemic. Most of the complaints came from DKI Jakarta, West Java and Central Java.
Data validation
Most of the complaints, Lili said, were related to reporters who did not receive assistance even though they had already registered. For this reason, the KPK asked the Ministry of Social Affairs to pay more attention to data validation problems, because it is important to secure the legitimate recipients and avoid the same complaints.
In this case, the distribution of social assistance is included in the social protection group in the covid-19 pandemic management program. If you look at it, the budgeted funds for social protection are the largest compared to other groups, amounting to IDR 233.69 trillion.
Overall, the government has allocated funds to handle the Covid-19 pandemic worth 695.2 trillion rupees. The funds are divided into several groups, for example, health 97.9 trillion rupees, k / l sectoral and local government 65.97 trillion rupees, support for MSMEs 115.82 trillion rupees, business incentives 120.6 trillion rupees and business financing of 61.2 trillion rupees.
The completion of the Covid-19 pandemic management program through November 25, 2020 amounted to 431.54 billion IDR. This is equivalent to 62.1 per cent of the total ceiling of Rs 695.2 trillion.
Especially for the health group, the realization was 207.8 trillion rupees. The funds are channeled through various programs, namely the Family Hope Program (PKH), staples, Jabodetabek welfare, non-Jabodetabek welfare, pre-employment cards, electricity discounts, wage subsidies and cash transfers from the village (BLT).
Meanwhile, the Minister of Social Affairs, Juliari Batubara, previously explained that the realization of the social protection budget in the Ministry of Social Affairs was IDR112.72 billion as of November 3, 2020. This figure is equivalent to 87.44 percent of the total budget allocation of IDR128.92 trillion.
Juliari explained that most of the funds were used for the basic food program. The amount as of November 3, 2020 is IDR 37.31 trillion.
The absorption of the distribution of this basic feeding program is equivalent to 86 percent of the goal which amounts to 43.12 billion IDR. This means that the government still has to channel funds from the basic food program of around 5 trillion rupees.
Then the government disbursed funds through PKH worth IDR 36.71 billion, IDR 25.86 billion in cash welfare, IDR 5.65 billion for Jabodetabek’s social needs, cash assistance for Non-PKH commodity beneficiary households (KPM) for IDR 4.5 trillion and assistance for rice. worth 3.29 trillion IDR.
In more detail, Juliari explained that PKH’s distribution was in line with the goal, which was given for 10 million KPM. Then the staple food program has been distributed to 19 million KPM or 95 percent of the target of 20 million KPM.
