TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo commenced a series of visits to Southeast Sulawesi and Maluku. Jokowi was scheduled to come to several regions, one of which is to distribute fuel cash aid, also known as, BLT BBM.
Jokowi would also monitor the aid distribution from the Manpower Ministry for workers affected by the fuel price hike. The amount is up to Rp600,000 as compensation for the increase in the price of subsidized fuel, Pertalite and Solar.
"[President Jokowi]will ensure that it will be distributed in cities that are hard to reach," said Head of the Presidential Secretariat Heru Budi Hartono in a written statement on Monday, September 26, 2022.
