"Ibu Semi, 90 years old, but her physical and hearing are good. She lives alone in Magetan. She has to support herself by making kerupuk lempeng with a payment of Rp 5,000," said Ridho, Tuesday, March 19, 2024. Ridho admitted that he had visited Ibu Semi's house. At that time, he saw that Ibu Semi did not have any stock of rice to consume."

Ridho paused his sentence. His voice trembled as he continued, "He has to eat boiled tofu and long beans without any specific menu. I know maybe this is my one or two findings. I'm sure the Minister has found many things like this because the area she handles is throughout the Archipelago," said Ridho.

In that meeting room, Risma could be heard sobbing from behind her desk. Risma was seen grabbing a tissue and wiping her wet eyes. Her face looked red, holding back sadness. Ridho then continued, he received a report that there was misallocation of social assistance. He said that they found residents around Mrs. Semi's residence who actually received social assistance even though they did not meet the criteria.

"The unfortunate thing is that he often sees his neighbors receiving assistance, but he does not receive any assistance. On the other hand, in the same village, there is someone who, according to the information I have in the field, is not eligible to receive it, but he still gets assistance," said Ridho. Ridho also asked what should be done if encountering a case like Ibu Semi's, who is classified as a recipient of social assistance but her name is not registered.""
