        "content": "<p>The Head of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN), Sudaryono, has\nasserted that there will be no more clandestine or secret meetings\nregarding the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) programme, emphasising\ntransparency to improve the governance of this national priority\ninitiative. \u201cI said earlier, if people are whispering, holding secret\nmeetings, four-eyes meetings, enough. Let\u2019s be open about it. Indonesia\nmust be bright, no need for darkness. Things done in the dark are\nusually suspicious, I think that\u2019s the case,\u201d he said at the BGN Office\nin Central Jakarta on Wednesday, following his inauguration by President\nPrabowo Subianto. He stressed the importance of working for the people\nand using common sense in running the MBG Programme, both for BGN\ninternal staff, partners, and the Nutritional Fulfilment Service Units\n(SPPG), as well as the wider community. \u201cI said earlier, love your\npeople and use your common sense,\u201d he stated. \u201cPeople easily create\nsensations around the MBG theme, it goes viral, maybe they feel proud.\nBut my point is, no matter how viral it gets, it\u2019s fine, but I want the\ntruth to be reported or uploaded. If there is a violation, let the truth\nof that violation be reported, don\u2019t let there be hoaxes or slander.\u201d\nDuring a press conference after the inauguration ceremony at the State\nPalace, Sudaryono also confirmed that neither he nor his family owns any\nfree nutritious meal kitchens. This fact was disclosed to emphasise that\nthere is no conflict of interest for him or his family in the\nimplementation of the MBG Programme. He vowed not to tolerate any\ncorrupt practices, kickbacks, or embezzlement within the BGN and the\nexecution of the MBG. He explained that MBG is a priority programme with\na large budget and nationwide coverage, therefore its implementation\nmust be transparent and accountable, and every policy must be\njustifiable to the public.<\/p>",
