Indonesian Minister of Social Affairs Agus Jobo Prayitno said on Sunday (July 13th) that he is prepared to risk his ministerial position if he is proven to have misused the Family Hope Program (PKH) assistance distribution. He resigned from the Ministry of Social Affairs on social media and TikTok.

He hopes the social assistance program will be targeted to the underprivileged.

Around 300 to 400 assistant members must be serious about handling the PKH program.

If any party plays a role in the inappropriate and untargeted PKH distribution, they must bear the risk.

“I am prepared to risk my ministerial position if any member of the ministry plays a role. I will fire them,” Agus said online through his account Akbar Faizal in Jakarta.

Akbar Faizal even said, “How can you ensure that social assistance is properly targeted?”

“I believe there are around 300 to 400 accompanying members from all over Java, why not?

But I’m not like that, but I’ve seen the performance of the Ministry of Social Affairs employees,” Agus said.

Then Akbar asked again, “What would you do if the social assistance were used for political purposes?”

“I’m ready, I’ll even risk my position as Minister of Social Affairs if I’m dishonest and corrupt,” he said.
