A SEJA’s view on the social and economic outlook for 2021

Lock down did not happen because it was supposed to, but it was due to an unforeseen virus that left many people jobless, without food and caused people’s lives to be on standstill. People who thought of the poor not just about themselves organized food parcels for the poor, the vulnerable and the needy so that they can eat together with their families. However, I am disturbed by those who receive these food parcels that instead of taking these food parcels to the relevant people, they help themselves with the same food. These are selfish people who can afford to buy food themselves, but they deprive the poor. What should be done when those who are supposed to distribute don’t do the distribution, what should be done when food parcels are found in the back of the car, what can be done when food parcels are distributed at night in the dark for the few or even sold, what should be done when the same food parcels distributed according to structures of the political party and what should be done when the problem is not yet contained?
