Jakarta, The Indonesia Post – President Joko Widodo stated that his staff continued to encourage the acceleration of the distribution of direct fuel oil cash assistance (BLT BBM) for the beneficiary communities throughout Indonesia, which currently has reached 40 percent.
This was conveyed when the President directly reviewed the delivery of BLT BBM, basic necessities, and BLT for participants of the Family Hope Program (PKH) at the Moa Sub-Branch Post Office, Southwest Maluku Regency, Thursday.
“Approximately 40 percent of the distribution has been distributed throughout Indonesia, indeed there are still many that have not, still 60 percent. We will continue to push this so that it can be completed quickly,” he said in a statement received by the Presidential Secretariat Press Bureau in Jakarta.
The President also ensured that the BLT BBM would be handed over to all beneficiary communities in remote areas of the country, as he observed in Southwest Maluku, one of the outer islands of Indonesia.
“This is Southwest Maluku Regency, including the outermost islands adjacent to Timor Leste, which is also adjacent to Australia,” he said.
