TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo was scheduled to distribute cash assistance (BLT) to traders at Johar Baru Market and Rawamangun Market, Central Jakarta, today morning, April 5. This social assistance is aimed at helping traders to increase the number of commodities they are selling.
“The amount is Rp1.2 million per trader,” Head of the Presidential Secretariat Heru Budi Hartono said to Tempo on Wednesday, April 5.
The assistance package will be directly handed by Jokowi or not involving the relevant ministries. The number of packages will later be adjusted to conditions on the field.
