REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- The Ministry of Social Affairs is validating data on the poor who are recipients of the government's 'magic cards,' the Indonesia Health Card (KIS), Indonesia Smart Card (KIP) and Prosperous Family Card (KKS).

"This April, we will, once again, reassess and validate data on the poor who are recipients of the 'magic cards.' This is to ensure that the right persons get the assistance," Social Affairs Minister Khofifah Indar Parawansa said here on Thursday (2/4).

For this purpose, the cooperation of the regional governments is needed, particularly of those who reported the data to the ministry.

"It must be ensured that those joining the Family of Hope Program have received KKS. It must also be ensured that they get the KIS and KIP," the minister emphasized.
