Assistance scheme no help<\/p>\n
From Kompas<\/p>\n
The government's fuel subsidy compensation scheme remains a
\nmess. The public's fears that the direct cash assistance scheme
\nwould become tainted by corruption have apparently been borne
\nout.<\/p>\n
According to Vice President Jusuf Kalla and Coordinating
\nMinister for People's Welfare Alwi Shihab, serious misfeasance
\nhas been afoot. The main problems are: many poor families, as
\ndefined by the national statistics agency, have not received
\ntheir entitlement cards, many poor families have not been
\nregistered, and the entitlement cards are being bought and sold.<\/p>\n
The public welfare minister has announced that in order to
\nreduce the number of violations, the use of citizen's identity
\ncards or official certificates will be required. In practice,
\nhowever, a lot of people still don't understand the procedures
\nfor claiming their entitlements.<\/p>\n
Thus, the poor are once again being made the victims of theft
\nby unscrupulous people. The requirements for obtaining the money
\nhave just caused headaches for many of those in need.<\/p>\n
