Suara.com – The wife of presidential candidate number 3 Ganjar Pranowo, Siti Atikoh Suprianti, dialogues with workers, farmers and livestock breeders at the Cap Limo Iwak Kemplang Cracker Factory, Talang Buluh, Palembang, South Sumatra (Sumsel), Friday (12/1/ 2024).
A local farmer and farmer, Rebo was the person who had the opportunity to speak to Atikoh.
To Atikoh, Rebo complained that he had never received assistance for the last 10 years, even though he admitted that he was in the underprivileged category.
He even admitted to being a loyal Jokowi voter in the 2014 and 2019 presidential elections. However, the current situation of never receiving aid is different from the era of the Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) government.

“Well here, maybe we need to explain, during Mr. SBY’s time we always got help, during Mr. Jokowi’s time, really. During SBY’s time we got cows and fertilizer. We voted for Mr. Jokowi for two periods, but didn’t get any help. ,” he said, conveying his complaint to Atikoh, Friday.
Rebo then expressed his hope to candidate pair number 3, Ganjar Pranowo and Mahfud MD, to improve data collection on parties who need assistance from the government.
Apart from that, Ganjar and Mahfud are also expected to be able to help small farmers and livestock breeders so that they can get easy access to borrow money at the bank.
“Please, Mr. Ganjar, if possible now, please help these farmers, ma’am. The majority here are farmers and cattle breeders,” he said.
Responding to this, Atikoh admitted that he would record all of Rebo’s complaints while emphasizing that candidate pairs Ganjar and Mahfud were candidates who would prioritize policies to help farmers and breeders.
“I’ll note it down first, sir, yes. I’ll note it, of course I can’t make any promises because this is related to policy, but what the farmers, including livestock breeders, need will definitely be a priority,” he said.
Atikoh then reminded the Ganjar-Mahfud candidate pair that they have the KTP Sakti program, a policy that will improve and synchronize beneficiary data.
According to Muhammad Zinedine Alam Ganjar’s mother, this program will ensure that people like Rebo do not miss out on receiving welfare assistance.
“For example, there is data in Palembang, yes. Data on how many farmers, how many breeders, who are the recipients of the right to receive assistance. It will be seen later, sir,” said Atikoh.
“With improvements to the system like this, the hope is that the aid will really be on target, so it doesn’t go anywhere. I’ll note that, thank you,” he said.
