Probolinggo municipal administration is planning to help the people affected by the policy appealing to people to stay at home by distributing aid as an effort to stop COVID-19 from spreading. The aid, in the form of groceries, will involve companies, BAZNAS, and the civil servants of the local government.
As was explained by drg Ninik Ira Wibawati, the mayor has a special program for SMEs in Probolinggo City. To follow up on this, the mayor has assigned the Agency of Cooperatives, Micro Business, Industry and Trade (DKUPP), Social Affairs Agency, and the Agency of Agriculture, Food Security, and Fisheries to collect the data of poor people including MSMEs.
"The mayor has assigned the head of the related working units to identify; the budget will be prepared," explained the Secretary, during a video conference (VIDCON) with the media crew on Monday (30/3) at the office of the Communication and Information Technology Agency.
Besides, the municipal administration has also invited CSR associations to participate in the action, giving aid to the people. This was confirmed by the Head of Regional Development Planning and Research Agency, Rey Suwigtyo, who was present at the video conference with the Non-Natural Disaster Management Task Force and Progress in Handling the 19th Probolinggo COVID.
"The government would like to encourage the industries and banking to be aware and concern of the community amid the outbreak of the COVID-19," Tiyok said.
The government, Tiyok continued, also plans to involve BAZNAS in distributing the aid. Besides, the head of the regional working units (OPD), including the structural and functional officials in the municipal administration will also be involved in giving aid to the community. The number of aid packages is different at each level of the position.
"Since the policy to stay at home has been issued, it has affected the economy of many people including farmers, fishermen, poor people, and others. We are currently collecting the data of those people in need," Tiyok added.
"Our target is more than 10,000 people, and then we will attempt to use the local budget APBD to increase the fund. We have 16,000 poor people; and hopefully, distributing the aid will help thousands of poor families," he continued. The aid will include rice, oil, soy sauce, sugar, and others. (alfien_tr)
