PETALING JAYA: Approved aid for the Urban Poverty Eradication Programme under the Housing and Local Government Ministry was not distributed evenly and accurately to the target group, according to the Auditor-General’s Report 2021 Series 1.
The report stated that the outcome of the programme was not met as there were still participants who had failed to generate income and moved above the poverty line.
It added that approved repairs or building of houses for 39 participants, at a total value of RM620,000, were not carried out by the Kota Kinabalu City Hall and Kota Belud District Council. “A total of 603 participants were not registered in the eKasih programme; 472 participants received home repair/rebuild assistance from other government agencies; and aid received by 1,974 participants was not updated in eKasih.
The report also noted that four NGOs did not conduct survey and verification exercises on participants in the programme. The ministry was advised by the National Audit Department to review the eligibility criteria for the programme so that the aid would reach the target group and there would be no redundancy.
