"It's very important because our measuring base is data, if we wrong in collecting data, the central government, or Jakarta Provincial Government’s program will not be on target," told Djarot Saiful Hidajat at Millenium Hotel, Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta, Wednesday (5/13).
The former Blitar Mayor also asked the Central Statistics Agency to synergize with Jakarta Provincial Government starting from city/regent, sub-district, RT, RW, even the public figure in order to not create conflict.
Data of Lower-income People in W. Jakarta Re-Collected"Because there will be social turmoil if we give the wrong person. Why the citizens get help? Though he is not poor while much poorer neighbors are not get help," he explained.
According to him, an error in the data will lead citizens' protest to RT, RW even to the City Government. Meanwhile, the City Government itself has a lot of social programs such as Jakarta Health Card (KJS), Jakarta Smart Card (KJP), revolving capital, and so on.
"So, I asked the data must be valid to make the Government's Program implementation on target," he asserted.
