Kupastuntas.co, Lampung English - A total of 830,789 beneficiary families in 15 regencies/cities throughout Lampung Province will receive staple food assistance in the form of 10 kilograms of rice for three months from the central government.

The Head of the Lampung Provincial Social Service, Aswarodi said, data collection was still being carried out on 830,789 Beneficiary Families to avoid overlapping. Each beneficiary family will receive 10 kilograms of rice for three months.

"Currently we are still conducting data collection again for the beneficiary families of the beneficiaries. Because the data we receive is not as complete as the Family Identification Number. We are worried that there will be overlapping," said Aswarodi, Tuesday, April 4, 2023.

He revealed, after the data on the Beneficiary Families was declared valid, the rice assistance was directly distributed to the beneficiaries. The rice assistance will be distributed by Bulog Lampung.

"So it's just a matter of adjusting the transporters from the district/city Bulog warehouses. Because later the rice will be distributed to one point in each region, then handed over to the recipient community," he explained.

The details of the beneficiary families of rice assistance are West Lampung Regency 33,562 beneficiary families, South Lampung 119,272 beneficiary families, Central Lampung 108,134 beneficiary families, East Lampung 98,045 beneficiary families, North Lampung 81,393 beneficiary families and Mesuji 20,196 beneficiary families.

Furthermore, Pesawaran 52,967 beneficiary families, West Coast 19,429 beneficiary families, Pringsewu 40,490 beneficiary families, Tanggamus 78,261 beneficiary families, Tulang Bawang 32,434 beneficiary families, Tulang Bawang Barat 21,712 beneficiary families, Way Kanan 50,758 beneficiary families, Bandar Lampung 65,303 Beneficiary Families and Metro 8,833 Beneficiary Families.

Head of Bulog Divre Lampung, Etik Yulianti said, currently his party is making preparations for the distribution of the basic food assistance.

"Right now we are making preparations. The beneficiary itself is determined by the central government. To distribute the rice assistance to the 830,789 beneficiary families, at least 8,307,890 kilograms of rice stock is needed," said Etik.

Secretary to Commission V of the Regional People's Representative Council of Lampung Province Mikdar Ilyas asked the Provincial Government to ensure that the recipients of the rice assistance were the right people.

"Don't let the data be wrong. Don't let people who really need help not get help. So you have to make sure it matches name by address," said Mikdar. (*)
