ICW urges government to stop direct cash aid
Tue, 06/30/2009 10:52 AM | National
JAKARTA: Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) has called on the central government to end the direct cash aid program for the poor, because of rampant illegal fees.
"Too many illegal fees are imposed by local administration officials, and there are leakages in the central government fund for direct cash aid," ICW researcher Febry Hendri told a media briefing on Monday.
Direct cash aid affects the attitudes of the poor as they have come to rely on it and have become too lazy to work, kompas.com reports.
Solidarity among the poor has also declined because of competition to get direct cash aid, and several people have died during struggles to get it. - JP
