Jakarta Provincial Government plans to disburse rice allowance inline with cash allowance for civil servants.

The policy has been run by Dept. of Maritime, Agriculture, and Food Tenacity (KPKP) in January. Rice allowance is taken from civil servant’s allowance value.

Darjamuni, head of KPKP, each civil servants would get 5 kilogram rice per month. One kilogram price is Rp 12 thousand. It means civil servants’ allowance will be cut Rp 60 thousand. Rice allowance would be also given to civil servant’s wife and children.

“The policy has been run in January,” he said, Monday (3/7).

He added that his side cooperated with PT Food Tjipinang Station for this program. “I propose this police to be applied for all civil servant,” he added.
