Kolom Utama. The Lombok earthquake victims, West Nusa Tenggara, demanded the realization of the Jokowi's government assistance pledges as stated in the Presidential Instruction of the Republic of Indonesia Number 5/2018 concerning the Acceleration of Post-Earthquake Rehabilitation and Reconstruction in Lombok.

"We need evidence, not promises," said Jeringo village head Sahril, when met at his home in West Lombok Regency on Friday.

Sahril who represents the aspirations of his citizens does not want to be made a political arena by the central government. He did not expect, when approaching the Indonesian President's Election, the new central government realized assistance.

He hopes the central government will immediately realize what the community needs (earthquake victims) in accordance with the Presidential Instruction No. 5/2018 and the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) Regulation Number 2/2018 regarding the use of ready-to-use funds (DSP).

In the two basic rules, it was explained that the amount of aid received by the earthquake victims, among others, was IDR 50 million in the category of severely damaged, IDR 25 million for the category of moderate damage and IDR 10 million for the category of minor damage.

For Jeringo Village which is inhabited by 2,734 people with 822 households affected by the earthquake with a heavy category of 93 percent. They once received assistance from the Minister of Finance (Minister of Finance) of the Republic of Indonesia in the amount of Rp1 billion received directly by the village head who then distributed it to all residents, each of whom received Rp. 384 thousand.

He added, it should now be handled in 2019, but until now only 18 heads of families have received the assistance promised by the government in the form of conventional instant homes (riko).

He hopes that the new head of the central BNPB will immediately evaluate the policies of the previous leaders, make regulations that make it easier for the people (earthquake victims) to get their rights and realize their previous promises. Mustinah, a resident of Gelangsar village hoped that he would immediately get help from the government in the form of houses and money. He claimed that he had not received any assistance from the government.

Likewise, Tohri, a resident of the Gelangsar hamlet, also hopes to get the promised assistance soon as some of the residents of Jeringo village.

All residents are now returning from refugee camps and living in homes that they built themselves independently of the debris of their homes which were destroyed by the earthquake.
