        "summary": "Indonesia's Home Affairs Minister Tito Karnavian, who also chairs the PRR for Sumatra, has urged the affected provinces of Aceh, North Sumatra and West Sumatra to promptly disburse and utilise an additional Rp 10.6 trillion TKD transfer for post-disaster rehabilitation and response. The funds were released following President Prabowo's directive to accelerate disaster response and mitigation in the region; local authorities should apply them to infrastructure repair, landslide risk mitigation, river embankments, and public-service restoration, not diversion to unrelated activities. The central government has granted flexibilities to bypass protracted DPRD discussions to speed up spending, with progress to be monitored by the PRR Task Force.",
        "content": "<p>KOMPAS.com - The Home Affairs Minister (Mendagri) and Chair of the\nPost-Disaster Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Acceleration Task Force\n(PRR) for Sumatra, Muhammad Tito Karnavian, has urged the affected\nregional governments in Sumatra to promptly realise the additional TKD\ntransfers for post-disaster response. He stressed that the government\nhas channelled an additional TKD of Rp 10.6 trillion to the affected\nregions, namely Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra. These steps were\ntaken in line with President Prabowo\u2019s directive to speed up disaster\nresponse and support mitigation efforts in the regions. Therefore, local\ngovernments are urged to use the funds for targeted purposes and not\ndivert them to activities unrelated to disaster response. He made the\nstatement while chairing the hybrid Coordinating Meeting (Rakor) of the\nPRR Pasca-Disaster Sumatra Task Force from the PRR Command Post, the\nCentral Office of the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) in Jakarta,\non Thursday. He said the use of the additional TKD should be focused on\nrehabilitation, mitigation, and disaster anticipation activities. The\naffected regions are being asked to use the funds to repair damaged\ninfrastructure, address potential landslides, strengthen river\nembankments, and accelerate the restoration of public services. \u2018Do not\nuse it for purposes far removed from disaster response, or for\nactivities with no relation whatsoever to disasters,\u2019 Tito insisted.\nDuring the meeting, he outlined the results of the Ministry of Home\nAffairs\u2019 monitoring of progress in the use of the additional TKD in the\naffected areas. Tito praised several local governments that have\nprepared activity plans and enacted a Regional Head Regulation (Perkada)\nas the basis for budget use. He also flagged some areas that have not\nyet prepared a utilisation plan or issued Perkada. \u2018For those who have\ncompleted their plans and have already gone through the formalities,\nplease proceed with execution and realisation. We will monitor from the\nTask Force,\u2019 Tito said. He disclosed that the central government\nprovides flexibility to regional heads so that budget use can be\naccelerated without lengthy consultations with the Regional People\u2019s\nRepresentative Council (DPRD). As such, disaster response will not be\nhampered by administrative procedures. \u2018I\u2019ve taken a stand\u2014once\nagain\u2014with the DPRD so that it doesn\u2019t need to be discussed; it should\nsuffice to rely on the discretionary policy of the regional head,\u2019 Tito\nsaid.<\/p>",
